Minor maintenance on my head. Replacing the 1 1/2" exit hoses between the
Raritan (non electric) and the Y valve which goes to the holding tank and throughhull.
But . . . West Marine and others sell white PVC sanitary hose, not the black sanitary hose that is being replaced. The replacement stuff will not fit onto the Raritan or the Y valve. The black hose was (I measured) 1/32" ID larger than the 1 1/2" OD fitting (or it stretched to that). But the white hose is totally rigid and the ID exactly matches the OD of the fittings - so no go.
anyone know where I can get the black hose?
Or is there a trick with the white hose (heat it? I have tried lubricants without luck).
Thanks
By the way - the white hose at West Marine is $5.40/ft.
Same stuff at Home Depot is $3.60/ft.
