[C320-list] cushion covers

[wflowe3 at aim.com]

When I had to replace the sanitation hoses  on my last boat, I realized that that was a project that I never wanted to do again (the head was much  further from the holding tank than on the 320). Based on a tip from somewhere, I completely wrapped the new hoses with metal tape, the kind used on metal duct-work. It is readily available at al lowes, home depots etc.  This tape is supposedly impermeable to odors so even if your hoses get permeated, the smell should not come through. I only kept the boat a couple more years so I didn't get a chance to find out if this worked but if I ever have to replace hoses on my 320, I will do the same thing.

I have had great success in eliminating strong odors from the tank hoses ...
in my case it was with Fresh Water ....I think it would work for holding
tank hoses.
I hit them (shocked them) with house hold bleach.
Sorry cannot remember the Bleach to Water Ratio .... something like1 to 80?
