[C320-list] Water lines

[Jeffrey Hare]

Hi Morey,

   It's the same fitting. They used to put a (grey?) cap over them.  Same
technique however.  Hold the end of the fitting and pull the pipe out.

The only thing holding it in is simply the o-ring seal around the outside of
the pipe.  It goes in and comes out hard by design...

-Jeff.

Gentlemen,

Whale must have changed their systems because what I have is not what is
pictured in the Whale catalog or on the Catalina Photo Gallery.  But, it
seems to be what David described.  I do not have any (uncovered) collar that
can be pushed in.  I have seen that system.  What I have is a collar that
fits tightly to the main body that could possibly be pried away as David
describes, but I cannot verify that until tomorrow after our Nor'easter
leaves the Northeast.

I'll keep you "posted."
