The head plumbing got clogged up on our last trip. I could not fix it without removing some of the old hoses. As expected, they all had to be cut apart, nothing was going to come loose. I heaved it all in the dumpster and got some new hose and a 1.5 inch 90 degree elbow. No matter how tight I made the clamps, it ended up leaking. I took it back to West Marine and did some comparisons with other 1.5” fittings. Most of them are a bit too big and you can’t even get them on without heating the hose up and using a lot of force. Say they are all maybe 1.6 inches in diameter. The 90 degree fittings are more like 1.4 inches. I ended up using a boat pole to fish the old plumbing back out of the dumpster and cutting the elbow out of that mess to use again. Final part of the rant: The Y-Valve has a smooth fitting that is a bit tight and doesn’t leak, but you can get the hose back off. Why can’t they ALL be that way! Joe Coquina C&C 35 MK I
