Yes, trying to "weasel out". Doing the Urban Thing of doing what I do
well, getting paid for it, then paying someone else to do what I don't do
well.

Fittings are already correct and don't need replacing. Hose is $13/ft
"no odour" sewage line. Macerator installed (with float-switch interlock
and run-dry backup and pushbutton override), Acugage Tank sensor ready to
be installed. All fittings on the top of the tank, dual 3/4" vent hoses
for flo-thru ventilation... (Don't need a Y-valve because there are
virtually no pumpout stations here on the West coast of Canada.)

But these damn hoses are winning, dammit! (and the two-week trip up the
coast is 1 1/2 weeks away...) You say "rip out the old hose..." OK...you
first!

Do it right, do it yourself... rip out all the old hose and replace the
thru hull and backing plate. Install it correctly with proper fittings.
Bullet proof the system. Forget working with trying to tie in cruddy scent
impregnated, problematic line. Do it once and do it right. Throw in a
macerator and install a proper lockable "Y" valve. I mean really, if you're
going to stake bragging rights to a new holding tank... ;-)
