Powerboat Reports tested all the major sanitation hoses and Sealand's
Odorsafe came out far above the rest. It has a layer of something like Saran
wrap co-extruded in the hose to make it a lot more resistant to permeation.
I replaced all the hoses that came with my 16 year old boat with it. Not a
problem ever since, and I don't expect any for a long time.

Now, if you're really on a budget, get whatever sanitation hose you can
afford, and wrap it with Saran wrap.

If flying is so safe, why do they call the airport the terminal?

I'm sure there's a good reason - but my initial looking discloses two
basic
types of sanitation hose.

Both claim the same purpose (keep the stuff and the odor inside while on
the
way outside), but there's one which is 3x the price of the other.

What's the difference, other than the obvious price? Easier to use?
Won't
let the odor/seep through, ever, vs some number of years? Stays whiter in
more conditions?

The difference, in boat money terms, is pretty insignificant, I'd say
(some
couple-three hundred bux for the standard 50' roll), but if it's not
needed,
I can use that couple-three somewhere else.

Anybody used both (e.g. "148" vs "Sealand") who can give experiential
input?

Thanks.

"And then again, when you sit at the helm of your little ship on a
clear night, and gaze at the countless stars overhead, and realize
that you are quite alone on a great, wide sea, it is apt to occur to
you that in the general scheme of things you are merely an
insignificant speck on the surface of the ocean; and are not nearly
so important or as self-sufficient as you thought you were. Which is
an exceedingly wholesome thought, and one that may effect a
permanent change in your deportment that will be greatly appreciated
by your friends." - James S. Pitkin
