I got sort of Lucky on sea suite, Our aluminum black water tank had rotted through. Fortunately it had not been used in so long it was completely dry, zero smell, zero odor unfortunately enough I have a very good friend who owns a steel fabrication shop and I was able to take the old black water tank to him which exactly duplicated for us then I had the new one coated in Rhino Linings bed liner, should it ever wrote again it won't leak through:-) -Chris&Lisa
Lucky! If we were going to replace our tank, the rhino lining is a great idea. Fortunately the tank itself is still good. One of very few things we’re not replacing!
@@SailingRoam Well an old method without too much chemicals is simple vinegar . It breaks down the calcium crystals and is not harmful (if used in moderate amounts) to the environment . However to do this on a boat I have no experience . You may can pump some vinegar into the system and let it sit for a while and then flush it out .
Clean and ick-free is so satisfying. Brave to take it on but how about respirators and gloves next time. 😊
You are so right! It was a bad call to be bare-handed. Fortunately the worst of the dirty work is behind us now.
Dirtiest jobs! You're much brave than I.
It was seriously so gross! At this point we’re done with the really dirty stuff. Phew!
You're having way too much fun! 💩 That scope gadget is very cool.
ALL the fun! 😂
This is a job for the dead of Winter in a cold climate. :)
You’re not wrong! Hopefully we’ll be reinstalling the replacement hoses by the dead of winter 😂
Full marks for cutting the hose at the top of any loop.
Anything to make the job less messy. Thanks for watching!
What a wonderful episode I'm so glad to see the down and dirty I think you've done a fantastic job Looking forward to next week's episode see you then
Thank you! We’re so glad you enjoyed it! Next episode is fun stuff, then definitely back to the hard work.

The solid stuff in the hose is not poop it is calcium .It is part of pee. Not really less gross but a bit less than poo.:-)
Much better than poo! Any thoughts on how to avoid the calcium buildup in the new hoses?

Thanks for the suggestion. Looks like I have a bit of research in my future!
I might have done the work w nitrile gloves, safety glasses, and an N95 on, but that's just me.
You’re not wrong. Next time…
Nice job with poop!
So gross! A job like that makes sanding so much more tolerable!
