Thank you!

I didn't notice a connector for a "slightly oversized" barbed
male thru-hull fitting. Talk about blood, sweat, and tears - I
had all three in abundance before my husband took over and used a
piece of rubber exhaust hose. (Better the head that works and
smells, than the head that can't be used at all.) Any good
suggestions for making this work without heating (and splitting)
the hose?

Stretching hose, specially plastic hose, specially by heating,
is not the greatest idea, long-term. Tensional loads have a way of
splitting the ends, sooner or later.
