[C320-list] Water supply line size

[Dave Hupe]

 My 1994 (hull #32) has regular 1/2 inch I.D. reinforced water hose and hose clamps on all  .....  no whale clamps.  I do not have an aft water tank.  I have a water tank under the v-berth and the 2nd under the port cabin sofa (just forward of the navigation station).  Last season I saw a water leak that first looked like a keel bolt leak (water seeped up around the bolts).  After looking everywhere and finally draining the water tanks and sopping up the water, I observed the water go away,  I finally determined that one of my water lines from the galley pump area to the head sink was leaking within the structural grid (so it looked like a keel bolt leak).  I was unable to pull these hoses out to run new lines,  So, I wound up routing new hoses through the bilge area.  I drilled holes in the structural grid side walls at the base of the galley and on the opposite side near the waste tank to route the hoses.
