Got the main hose replaced today. Toilet to holding tank 1” . Used the Raitan flex hose. Coupled the old hose to the new hose with a 1” barbed connector. I then ran screws thru the hoses into the barbed fitting so it could not come apart. I then taped it up to keep it all smooth. I few tugs the hose smoothly slid out. I had to cut the old hose in half as I was pulling it out to make room. DISGUSTING!!! Human waste crusted hard inside the hose. Twenty three years of poop in there. Hose was reduced to half its ID. I am positive that is where the boats odor came from.
