[Rhodes22-list] CB Pendant Tube Leak

[Wally Buck]

Doug,

Mine does appear to be leaking from the middle or the top. It could also be 
leaking from the bottom but my bilge stays pretty dry. I have not had to 
mess with cockpit drain hose at all and I can't remember what type hose is 
in the cockpit drain. Any recommendations on size/length?


Thanks,

Wally
