[C320-list] Vent and vent hose replacement process?

[Bill Culbertson]

Pat,

It occurred to JUST after I wrote it that the process may not apply to the earlier boats with the larger head and smaller hanging locker.  I'm assuming your #130 is such a boat.  Seems with the smaller hanging locker that the head wall would be further aft making it a longer reach to the vent exit location.

Does your vent leave the boat the same way as mine or is that different as well?  Did 320's ever have vents leaving through the stanchion as in some other Catalina models?

Well Bill wrote a long article but our boats are the same vintage and 
the vent on mine is at the forward end of the mirror and unless you 
have 7 foot arms there is no way to reach it. I have replaced 
everything from the head to the tank including both, so call me and I 
will come over and show you.
