I don't have any currently used on a thru hull fitting. They are used at the sink connection, the shower sump fittings and the connection to the holding tank. Actually, now that I think about it, I do have some used on the larger engine hatch drain thru hulls.

But, one of the outputs I am sending overboard is the shower sump output. That is not a gravity drain.

Thank you.

No, the original plan was to add it behind the starboard mid berth wall, next to where the existing step drain goes out. I was going to add this thru-hull and the one for the AC all in a line.

I was thinking: I could also disconnect it from the holding tank, add the thru-hull in the engine bay and connect it there. That eliminates any cutting of the tube. Not an easy place to drill the hole (between the tank and the wall separating the mid berth from the engine compartment) but it...

I'm still a little concerned with clamping a corrugated hose directly to a barbed thru-hull and expecting it to not leak...?

I have considered doing exactly what you suggest, and still might. But, here's the long story on why I want the sink to drain overboard: 1. The previous owner replaced the shower sump with a Rule 98B a couple years ago. Since then, I've been having repetitive problems with the pump air locking...

I'm checking those now, but I'm a bit concerned that they do not seem to screw onto the corrugated tube but rather they seem to clamp on. The tubing is not that strong and I fear clamping alone will crush it. I do indeed have the grey water option. All liquid, except for the sink on deck, goes...

Thanks, but it still doesn't appear to be available in 1", which is what the OD of the tubing is.

Possibly, but I'm not finding anything smaller than 1 1/4", and I doubt a vacuum hose fitting will be water tight.

Hello everyone. I need help identifying this fitting and determining where I can purchase new ones. I believe it's called a "hose cuff." It attaches to the 1" drain hose and the shower sump output hose, allowing them to be connected to a barbed fitting. I'm in the process of rerouting my sink...

Thank you.

Thanks. Their price seems quite a bit higher than I was hoping to have to spend on the unit. MarineAire was the company I was considering purchasing from. They seem to have a compact product, favorable reviews and nice features at a low price point. I contacted Mermaid to ask about their...

I've seen these calculators. I'm trying to get some real world feedback from people who have installed AC in a similar sized boat.

Ideally, I would install a 7k unit, but they are not as readily available as the 6k and 9k units. They were truly less than helpful. I suspect a marine AC manufacturer has some idea of what size unit works best for many of the popular boats on the market. I'm not trying to cool a house or a...
