[Public-List] Sink hose and seacock size?

[George Dinwiddie]

BTW, contrary to what I said on the Fall Cruise, I still have a metal 
drain slipjoint tailpiece. I checked.

I know I looked at the PVC ones. Perhaps the threading didn't fit.

Anyway, the metal ones should be replaced every 30 years or so, as they 
corrode. If they fall apart, the sink drain could sink the boat.
