Just spent the whole day on the boat dismantling and unblocking the heads. Oh joy! Daughter no.1 forgot to give one of her friends the lecture on toilet etiquette when they were staying on it a couple of weeks ago. Anyway, I had to remove the hose from the toilet to the diverter valve on the holding tank as the whole system was bunged up with blooming FlashWipes all the way back to the valve. Problem is I had to sort of destroy the old hose to get it off. Very solid s/s wire re-inforced bit of Beneteau original kit. No probs thinks I, I'll just pop to swindlery and get new hose. So that is what I do, and return armed with enough spares to build a new toilet, and 2 meters of their finest white 38mm sanitary pumpout hose.
Problem no.1 - hose will NOT go onto fitting on diverter valve thingy. I got it on the toilet discharge elbow end no probs. I've tried heating it with boiling water and all the usual tricks, but it aint going to go. Apart from anything else one of the problems is of course that I'm working in a space the size of one of Ronnie Corbetts shoe boxes.
Anyone know were I can get something like 42mm hose of the right spec. or any other ideas about how to get the sodding thing on? It's really starting to tee me off. For what it's worth, I'm not sure the original Benny spec would be much easier knowing how much I had to abuse it to get it off.
