Okay, I spoke to Peggie Hall last night and she asked; "Do you have anything
against black hoses?" I said, "Not really." She said "oh good! use the
trident 101 hoses. I don't know of a single case where they have ever had a
permeation issue." I guess I'm going to have black hoses...I guess I could
paint them if the admiral has an issue with them... She also suggested a 24
gallon tank at least. She said, on average, a manual toilet uses .6 gal/flush
and the average person uses the toilet at leas 5 times per day. So, at a
minimum your putting 3 gal/day/person in the the tank. For 2 people you get 6
gal/day so that tank will not even last 4 days because you don't want to be
filling it to capacity. So, we (she) decided the v-birth would be the best
location for the new tank. I'll be heading down to the boat with the Ronco
catalog in hand to figure out what the biggest tank I can fit under the
v-birth. All in all, it will be a very simple system. Manual toilet (she said
the Raritan PHC would have been here recommendation) to a Y valve diverting the
waste either directly overboard or into the tank. A 1" vent, as far forward as
I can get it. A pump out and potentially, a seperate fitting on the tank for a
manual overboard tank drain with a manual pump. The project moves on.

One word of caution - my boat's head had 1 1/4 inch discharge hose. �New
heads are 1 1/2 inch. �Check diameters if you want to re-use Y
valves.The Raritan hose is more expensive and more flexible. �I don't
know if it is easier to install or more durable. � I'd like to hear
Peggy's recommendations. �I'm not replacing the tank but am replacing
thru hulls in the bow, so hoses need to be changed and could be reconfigured.
�I know I want to move the discharge loop. Joel35/3Annapolis Joel

The Hinckley book on boat maintenance says to wrap the sanitary hoses in Saran
wrap.
Worth a try-- and cheap and easy.
