Last post by KeelsonGraham - May 16, 2024, 12:51:16 PMThe other one definitely has a larger ID. So it looks like I have a 5/8ths inlet and a 7/8ths outlet. Catalina Direct doesn't list any 5/8ths hose at all, so maybe that's what's confusing me. EDIT yes it does, under raw water inlet hose.
Actually, I've also confused myself by thinking erroneously that the raw water pump takes water from the HX. Which, of course it doesn't! So that 5/8th pipe must come straight from the strainer, presumably?
I think I must have hit every branch of the stupid tree when I fell out of it.

Last post by Ron Hill - May 16, 2024, 12:40:29 PMKeel : 5/8" hose is both for the inlet and the outlet. I believe that you have the inlet hose circled!!
What I did was to move the inlet hose so it is under the outlet hose. That way you can change the drive belt without having to remove a hose from the Sherwood.!!

Last post by KeelsonGraham - May 16, 2024, 12:33:49 PMThanks guys. So, it sounds like the catalog part that CD shows is actually wrong?
Am I right that the 5/8th is the outlet from the pump?

Last post by Ron Hill - May 16, 2024, 12:31:31 PMCliff : The standard transom C34s have the propane bottle in a box that sets on a platform that's on top of the aft water tank. Not sure where the "sugar scoop" transom boats have their propane box?? The box is vented aft thru the transom.

Last post by Ron Hill - May 16, 2024, 12:25:58 PMKeel : 5/8" hose is what you need.
I don't know the routing of that hose to the raw water thru hull, but if your hose does NOT make any acute turns you do not need a wire reinforced hose and you can get a replacement hose at an auto parts store!! Heck of a lot cheaper!! $$
Why are you replacing that hose??

Last post by robbjd - May 16, 2024, 12:17:08 PMI think you need 5/8" hose. Your Sherwood pump has 1/2" ports.

Last post by KeelsonGraham - May 16, 2024, 11:57:21 AMI think I must be going nuts. I'm trying to replace what I believe to be the hose from the freshwater pump to the HX. That's the hose circled in red in the attached photo? Is that right?
Because if it is, then I ordered the correct part from CD, the hose with a 7/8th in internal diameter. But when I tried to fit it on today it's way too big. The existing pipe is on there at the moment and it fits just fine (with its smaller ID).
I don't have some non-standard HX, so whatever is in there at the moment must be standard. So how in hell is it not a 7/8th ID hose????

Last post by Patches - May 16, 2024, 11:46:53 AMHi Cliff:
I also have a Mark 1.25. My boat has the propane locker in the aft seat locker—mounted on the platform on the starboard side. These can be purchased from Catalina Direct (white with blue top) and take the smaller size propane bottles which can be purchased cheaply at any RV supply place. Mine vents from the locker out through the stern to the swim step.
I've never run out of propane during a standard 3 week cruise. I carry a spare bottle in the port lazarette just in case.

Last post by crieders - May 16, 2024, 11:09:02 AMI still have the original CNG installation
would like to convert to Propane but of course do not have a propane locker and that boat has the simple sugar scoop stern, no walk thru
so where to put it, is my concern. Thanks
