Hi all

Our Marina waste pump out hose is the standard 1 1/2 inch. I am trying to find an adapter to connect the hose to the Laser waste deck fill which appear to be of a non standard size slightly less than 1 1/4 inch (probably metric).

I know that C & C 27 Mark V have the same difficulty but I have yet to find a pratical solution by way of an adapter. I have considered changing the deck fill plate but I cannot seem to find the same 3 15/16 inch size replacement part. Changing to a lesser dimension would mean repainting some part of the deck... lots of trouble for a toilet we hardly use.

We even asked a local machine shop to make an adapter. They are willing for 400 $...

Thanks

André

Hi there everyone, I'm reigniting this discussion as the adaptor I use has broken. I went to a couple of industrial places and none has the right size.

Solutions?

This is one of many 'hose adapter' that I found on this website

Thanks fatjohnz. As the previous poster mentioned, the size appears to be slightly smaller than 1 1/4" male thread which I have confirmed myself. Wondering i anyone knows the actual size?
