I'll pay someone to replace the holding tank hose...

My solution to the problem was to go to PVC. It survived our wreck - it
will surely survive anything you can throw at it in regular use.

I wasn't smart enough yet - I learned more at the aft head - so my forward
head has a small section of the best head hose there is between the toilet
and the pipe in the wall (perhaps 8" total), and at the Y (two more short
sections), one from the holding tank and the other to the through hull.
Perhaps one day I'll make up the section of PVC to take away the section
at the head; the other is a bit more challenging, so likely I'll not
bother.

My gallery has detailed pix on both installations in our initial refit
section, but I'm a bit pushed for time, so I apologize for not having the
specific section/pix to direct you to see it.

Suffice to say that there are NO hose points in my aft head. "Head smell"
is a thing of the past on Flying Pig, forever. WAY cheaper than that
fancy hose, too, and a full 1.5" inside...

I thought about converting to the PVC solution, but there's currently no
problem, so I'm going to wait until the hoses need to be changed.
