Holding tank vent.
 

I have seen much discussion on the hose TYPES for the holding tank.
But little discussion on the hose TYPE for the vent hose. My boat like
most others has the clear plastic type and now hold odors. So I would
like to replace it with the proper type. Thanks, Chuck

Boat builders save money by using clear plastic water hose for vent
lines and head intake lines--without any regard for whether it's rated
for below waterline connections (some clear hose is, some
isn't)...which, as you've seen, permeates with odor very quickly.
Replace both lineswith sanitation hose--Shields or Trident...black or
white, your choice.
