Wouldn't it be simpler--and a more reliable fix--to just replace the
fitting with one that's the correct size?



How do you propose avoiding any engine maintenance? Replace it with oars?

Put both on the wall so they're easy to operate & clean.

It will never smell, will last years & years & in the highly
unlikely
event someone does manage to block it??? most bilge pumps have an "O"
ringed
screw on face that makes the cleanup much more manageable into a bucket,
if
still not exactly pleasant:-)

The toilet spruikers go on & on about buying their ripoff priced
"special" hoses etc etc etc but seem to be in denial that most marine
heads
have no more than an "O" ring piston running in a placky bore between
the
waste side & the water inlet side & from there to the boat's cabin,
which is
where the real smell emanates. Even the cheapest hoses will last years
if
you use plenty of water to flush; which with the bilge pump system you
will
easily.
