So anyhoo... added a new brass 1/2 inch thru-hull last year and they reconnected the original 27 year old plastic fittings that scared me to death. Pictured above with the line that goes left to the head, and right to the sink.

Added a brass nipple, and brass adapter to 3/4 and one 3/4 Marelon elbow to connect the hose. All sealed with Teflon Tape.

Removed the line to the sink leaving one line to the head.

Sorry I didn't get finish shot.. I'll post that asap.

Nope... I'm thinkin I'll add a separate thu-hull all the way aft with a cutoff under the sink. I kept having problems with the girlfrnd not being able to get the head primed, as the vacume from all the air in the line to the sink was causing a problem even with the sink plugged.

I replaced all the fittings to the sink.

The more I think about it.. I may add another seacock just under the sink.

That should be a "relatively" easy project...

We have no sink up there. Its a 10 foot walk to the kitchen sink, or a no step walk to the bottle of hand sanitizer.

I don't know where you guys without a hanging locker throw all your junk that you don't want rolling around the boat.
