I sail on a 1985 H31. The plug and fitting for the tube leading to the holding tank is broken. Owner needs to replace entire assembly. One problem is attaching hose clamp...access to fitting from below weather deck is difficult. You can't see the fitting, much less get a hose clamp screwed on from below decks. Hose clamp is too big to attach above deck then drop attached fitting to deck..hole in deck's too small. Anybody out there know what I'm talking about and have a hint as to how to proceed? Opinions welcome. -Rich

I replaced the hose a couple of years ago, and reseated the waste outlet from the top. There was a little notch in the deck cutout to allow the clamp screw to fit through if it was orientated just right. It's definitely a two person job, with one guy below pulling, and the other above pushing. You may need to notch the cutout with a rotary file.
