It’s nice to see some common since solutions for plumbing issues. I’ve had zero issues since installing my dirt style system on the Rose, gravity fed to grinder tank 40 gallon then overboard
So why do boat builders use marine hose instead of dirt style PVC?
Cheaper, labor. Lot easier to run a flex pipe than ridged
So is PVC approved for use by ABYC? (Not that I am a fan, but could affect resale value?)
...One of the problems I am facing is making a bigger hole in the hull where there is already a smaller hole. The new hole is not big enough to drill the pilot next to the old so I will have to plug the old hole before I can re-drill the larger one...
Well, its been 4 years and the "Premium" 5 year guaranteed poop hose has permeated and so has the holding tank so out it all goes. My question is the pump-out pump. The existing pump is a Jabsco 59090-0012 diaphragm pump which has worked fine but it has been superceded by a "newer" model pump. I want everything new but I can't duplicate this pump any more. Does anyone have any recommendations for a new poop pump? The toilet itself is electric and has its own macerator so another macerator-type is not necessary. Any ideas? Pumps you have installed and forgotten about and you and the pump are still happy?
I'm not sure about the new Jabsco model as they change them to make them cheaper not mo' better. Has anyone had experience with this new-model pump?
Out with the old -
Thanks Foggy!
One of the problems I am facing is making a bigger hole in the hull where there is already a smaller hole. The new hole is not big enough to drill the pilot next to the old so I will have to plug the old hole before I can re-drill the larger one, if that makes sense. Its just a 2" hole and the old was an inch so my jigsaw is too large to cut the hole larger. I could also install a small strip of aluminum across the hole with screws, inside the new hole and drill it out. I will stare at it some more today and see if inspiration dawns on me. The other two holes will need the drill as there is no room but I can brace it against the structure and squirt lots of cutting lube on it. I also have an old Rotozip, I think that needs to be tested. it would be a good solution for the hull. Hmmm...
Have you tried adding a small hole hole inside the arbor for the larger hole saw. I recently had to go from 1.5” hole to a 2.5” hole. I have a set of Dewalt hole saws and arbor. The 1.5” or any size smaller or less than 2.5” for that matter, that uses the same size arbor will screw in on the inside. The threads on the arbor are long enough to mount two hole saws with the smaller one being the pilot. No holes to plug or hole saws “walking” across your finish.
Thanks Foggy!
