Anyone know what size tubing is used in a Hunter 410 potable water system? I got a section of 1/2' tubing at West Marine i=and it definitely is too big. But that would be 12.7 mm and the metric tubing seems to be 15 mm.

Hi Don, Depends upon the model year. Our boat is a different model than yours, but Hunter used Zurn Pex (grey plastic) on earlier model years. The link below describes our incident in some detail and the solution. Hope it helps. Our tubing is 1/2" OD.

Well checking my owners manual it says the tubing is 1/2". Maybe the "1/2" tubing I got at WM was mismarked and is 15mm. Why do the simple things always have to be so hard?
I think I figured it out. The 1/2" stuff is 1/2" ID, where the 15mm is 15mm OD. But a lot of suppliers (like Defender) list the 15mm as being ID and since I already knew that the 1/2" tubing was too big it didn't make sense to me that the 15mm tubing would fit.
11-3 - just an update that Whale 15mm tubing was the right size and it seem to be listed wringly as 15mm ID in a lot of catalogs
