Default Hoses (WAS) Top of the mast...

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 read that in a previous message, Skip.
But I haven't dug through all your photos in quite a while.
Someday you need to organize and index that mess!
That will keep until you retire, though.

A question?

How does one connect to the tank outlet and (in my case) macerator
pump inlet using PVC?
