David,
There was a thread on this about a year ago, and a couple of list members recommended Flair-It connectors for PEX. No special tools required. I have not used them personally, but made a note to give them a try. My boat still has the original polybutylene plumbing, so I am starting to feel like I am living on borrowed time.

I am sure this has been gone over before...so please indulge me. Replacing, re-designing, water lines in 1981 40-2. Pex is the obvious choice. Are there less obvious (and have cheaper tools required to install) choices? Has anyone improved on the original design? I am thinking of adding easier accessible manifolds and an additional line for antifreeze and blowing out water. Thanks in advance. David F. Risch, J. D. Gulf Stream Associates, LLC (401) 419-4650
