Episode 70 - Fixing Not So Quick Disconnects

After spending a season onboard “Moments in Time”, we developed a list of things we needed to change before starting this season. We previously addressed the propane tank swap out in the last episode. In this episode, we will address the not so quick through hull deck hose connects and disconnects. The intent of these deck through hull fittings were to allow hoses to quickly connect and disconnect. But in reality, there is nothing quick about it, unless you have super human strength. If you are on the foredeck and wish to connect a hose, you must go into the saloon and turn off the water pump, go down into one of the hulls and turn on the water until there is no pressure, go back to the foredeck and use the quick connect to hook up the hose, then go back to the saloon and turn the pump back on, go back to the foredeck and use the hose, and then repeat in reverse to disconnect. There is nothing quick about that, in fact it was such a pain in the ass that we did not bother last season. At this point, just give us a normal hose hookup and a spigot . . . What!, could the solution be so simple? The whale fittings made everything plug and play. No more muddy anchor chain in our locker anymore.
