Skeeter got me again…

I have had a 2005 TzX 200 for 15 years now and in the last couple of months I have two of their plumbing hoses collapse on me. First was the bilge hose where it goes through the top cap They ran a straight fitting instead of a 90 so it kinked where it’s tight to the gas tank. Then today I noticed that my starboard pumpout is the same way

And the wonderful quick connects they plumbed it with don’t have enough room to slide off the nipple and almost impossible to get access too

I guess they all have a little something we would like to "speak" to the engineer about.

Got the first culprit off and it’s rubbed so much at the kind it has worn a hole through the hose

What a pain

16 years.

What more do I need to say ?

I was thinking that’s pretty good life from some plastic and rubber.
