Once again, I get halfway through a project and can't find the right
parts. I have to change the cockpit drain hoses. Mine were cracked
and have a split. I removed them pretty easily and trotted off to
the marine store. Biggest they had was 1.5" (38 mm) inner diameter
PVC. This was just a tad too small. So I spent the next couple of
hours going from marine store to hardware store/home supply
store/camper store/automotive supply store/hot tub & swimming pool
store. No one has over 1.5" hose (except for much larger drainage
hose). I tried a little boat soap and tried to cram the 1.5" PVC
onto the valve but no dice. I might try using a dremel to put a
bevel on the hose end, and then take a hair dryer to heat the hose
up. Has anyone replaced this hose? With what? From where?
Thanks,
Chris
