Last time in the yard I installed seacocks for an A/C and a salt water
galley pump. Since installing either was going to have to wait until I was
out of the yard, I put brass threaded plugs in the sea cocks instead of the
tail pieces. Wasn't comfortable with the idea that the seacock could be
actuated (accidentally or just my kid mesiing around) and allow a steady
stream into the boat.
I'd toss the old hoses. The discharge will let you know why as soon as it's
off the head.

I am taking out the head because it has no holding tank. Don't have the
money, time, or inclination to install a
smelly holding tank.

After the head is removed, I still will have the two lines .. raw water
intake and smelly water overboard discharge.

Of course, they both go to seacocks.

I don't want to permanently remove the lines/hoses.

What should I do about them? Of course I will shut the seacocks.

Should I put a plug on the lines? Any ideas about using them for other
than turds.

If you have removed a head, overboard discharge, and gone with a porta
potty .. even for part of a season or longer ..

what did you do about the existing lines/hoses?
