I'm replacing all of the plumbing lines. Anyone know how to access the fitting located in the anchor locker?

On my '97, you can get to the fittings from inside the storage below the V-berth. They're all the way up forward on the port side, kind of a pain to get to. The hoses run down the port side along the underside of the joint between the V-berth and lower hull until they get to the water tank. If you're small (I'm not), you may be able to get inside and lay on your back to get to them. For me I have to wedge myself through the hole with my legs and hips hanging out, which is pretty uncomfortable.

Why? Are they leaking? If it's a sanitation concern, I bet you could shock it pretty well with bleach.

Yeah, its in a rotten spot that's hard to get to let alone wield a tool. I think that I'll just cut the existing hose as far up as I can easily reach and put a connector. Its not leaking, but as I was replacing the rest of the hose in the vessel, I thought I might as well do it all if I could. Since its a vertical hose, its probably not that dirty as opposed to the others running horizontally through the rest of the boat. Since I don't expect to drink it, I think I can probably do without bleaching it.
