Use Shields or Trident white or black (white costs less and is just as
good) potable water/sanitaion hose, Donny. Do NOT use clear water
hose...it lets light in, which encourages algae growth.

Looks like about a 1/2" (inside) diameter fitting, but it may be
smaller, on the forward bottom, with a length of black rubber hose to
a three way fitting below the engine oil pan.

Then it branches to two hoses, one aft, and one leads to the galley
hand pump faucet. (I think the aft line was to be a wash down later,
or is it a vent? It dead ends against the bottom of the aft deck
floor.)

I'd like to replace all of these hoses, what should I use?

Thanks
Donny,
(who went tubing with his kids for the first time yesterday!)

Thanks, Peggie.

Where's the cheapest place to buy the Shields online, and what part
number is best for this? It's 1/2" inside diameter hose.

Thanks

Donny, who's really reading your book!

West Marine is the only source I know of for Shields. I don't keep track
of their part #s...just look up potable water/sanitation hose.

I went to their website, and all the hose they suggest for potable
water non-pressurized systems are clear.?

Take a look at this link, and tell me which one is best, if you would.

I dunno what their recommendations are based on...I've seen plenty of
black and white hose used in potable water systems. You might check the
Trident site too.
