Hey Edd, I did mine this past season on my 34. It was fairly straightforward after all the planning. I bought everything through Freshwatersystems.com. They had the most complete selection of SeaTech and PEX that I could find. Unfortunately the PEX tubing comes in rolls which made it a little bit more difficult than what straight pieces might gain you.
They say PEX is flexible and can make somewhat tight turns, but I stuck to just using elbows for most everything. They have clips that are supposed to bend the tubing for a 90* turn at a safe radius, but those things were fairly flimsy. The biggest pain I had was trying to screw in the mounts for the tubing to secure it. I used the 1/2" CTS 35 series fittings with collet clips. They had the right size for just about all of the faucets and connections that I needed. I had to connect to my poly tank, water pump, galley sink faucet, fresh water foot pump, water heater, external hose inlet, and head faucet. Let me know if you have any other questions.
