I need to replace some of the hose for the deck
drains.
Specificly the one that goes right through the middle
of the galley storage area and the one on the opposite
side in the head.
What do you all think is a good hose. I am trying to
stay away from that really heavy black hose.

I have the white hose that is also used for the head. It's easy to keep clean and it looks good in the lockers.

Did you have a problem geting that hose on? Replace
the deck fiting also?
I was looking at the series 148 hose from Trident….
Looks to be a 3 1/2 bucks a foot at WasteMarine which
means I can probably get it at 1/2 that price
elsewhere.— Robert Fine <> wrote:

Alan, I used the white flex tubing also, not the odor resistant stuff as there isn't a need and it's about $10 a foot…
If you have not done it already when you replace the hose to the above the waterline drains you should consider replacing the thru hull fittings. Over the years the originals become brittle from the UV and if struck could break. Additionally there is no backing behind them.
I made up some donuts out of 1/4″ plywood and gave them a couple coats of epoxy. They seat between the hull and the thru hull nut spreading out the load. If I did it again I would have contoured the rings more to the hull shape before applying the epoxy.Lastly, a propane torch or a heat gun used to gently warm the hose ends makes the hose much easier to get onto a barb fitting.

Thanks Chuck,
2 years ago I replaced/rebuilt most of the thru-hull
fittings in the same manner as you. The last 4 I need
to do are the scupper drains..
thanks

I used the white sanitation hose that West Marine sells.Removing the hose is a bitch. The worst one to reach is the aft deck drain on the port side. I came up with a method that seems to work pretty well. Cut the hose with a sawsall, as short as you can. Grab the steel reinforcing wire with a pair of vice-grip pliers and pull the wire out of the hose. It takes a good tug, but the wire should pull out. Then cut the rubber hose off with a sharp knife.
If you missed the earlier thread, the hose that Pearson used needs to be replaced. The rubber gets brittle with age. Mine are all replaced now. Some of the hoses were pretty scary when I finally got around to removing them.

I would think the aft deck drain on the Starboard side is worse – it's behind all the wiring and stuff – the port one I can climb into the port locker to do.

Mine is back there also. I was looking at it this
weekend. I am thinking upscrewing the cabinets maybe
the fastest way to do the best job.

If you pull the wire out as I suggest, you’ll find it pretty easy to remove the hose. The hose is so old that the wire will pull right out. That just leaves a soft piece of rubber around the barb that’s easy to cut. I don’t think you need to take the cabinets down.—

Is the 1 1/2 in. sanitation hose at all flexible? I am afraid it may be too rigid to get over the fittings–or do you have to heat it before each install ?

The easiest way to put it on is to wipe a little vaseline on the inside, heat it up, slide it on. It takes a little practice to get the heating even and not too hot so that the hose doesn't wrinkle, but it's not hard. Two clamps and you're good to go.

Hi Alan:
I just climbed on the boat (only -11C on it this morning) and my 2 mid
drains (through the galley and head) are both clearly marked 1 1/2″. The aft
ones appear to be the same size, based on the identical OD.Paul

I concur – 1 – 1/2″. Also, dish soap is ok, as well, except it smells bad when heated. With dual clamps, it won't slip off.
