Here is what you have John.

Here is what I have John.

It looks the same as yours, with the exception that there isn't any apparent protrusion to accept a hose. If I reverse the yellow plug, it then looks like this. Is that what your hose is attached too? If yes, then I have to cut out the obvious obstruction. If no, then why can't I just remove the yellow plug, the screw cap, and just clamp the hose to the exposed threaded area?

Also, I see the same problem with the vent egress (is that redundant :?: :D ) Anyway, again, why is the cap necessary? Why can't a hose and a clamp be sufficient?

Re-read my posts earlier on. You have everything you need except the little hose flange adapters, one for the pump-out line, and the other for the vent. You have the MSD version, which would have come with the hose flanges. Those plastic caps aren't used at all when it's hooked to hoses.

But I don't see where you can buy those adapters separately. Check your inventory, as you said the PO never threw anything out. Or call the manufacturer; they may not list them separately, but that doesn't mean they won't send them to you anyway if you ask nicely. And make sure you have the flat rubber gaskets, too.

Tom,

Thanks, but there is no P.O. :) I'm number one.

When I purchased the boat, it was delivered with the Sanipottie installed, but I was given an extra one. I never opened the box for the second one until a week ago. The boxed unit was a 965, the installed unit (965MSD) came just that way, installed, no extra parts.

There are no parts available. What I am querying, is attaching the hoses to the threaded protrusions of pipe when the caps are not used.

The big nut uses a hose adapter flange, sort of like the a drain fitting for the bottom of a sink basin. The one you have is made by Mueller (I recognize the logo), and it has a 1-1/2" National Pipe Straight Mechanical (NPSM) thread. Probably made for a tailpiece connection on a sink drain.

West Marine sells a 1-1/2" pipe to sanitation hose adapter, that looks like it has a straight mechanical pipe thread (but I can't swear to it), that might work to directly connect to that male thread. WM #285876. If it's a straight thread, it may need a flat washer to make the seal. Use soft rubber, not fibrous.

I don't know what size the vent is, but you could probably find something similar.

The nice thing about using the nut with barb spigot is that you can leave the hoses behind (with the nuts captive on the fittings) and take the PP out for the winter, and clean it. Not so easy with a hose to female mech. pipe connection, but if you lube it, you can probably loosen the hose clamps and spin the connection to get it off the holding tank.

If u u do not have it go back to ur dealer if he is still in business & ask him for the part he stiffed u for ! have u check out through ur boat make sure it,s not laying around the hull somewhere , have already returned the kit u bought earlier !!

The parts went back John, and there was nothing with them that remotely looked like the part everyone is saying I should have.

Today I removed the tarps from the boat. I will have to crawl into every nook and cranny searching. One thing is for certain, I will get this project done. One way or another, this will get done.

Before answering, I will need to know what exactly you mean by ”dip tube”.

I believe what you are refering to is what the adapter (female thread) screws onto (male thread). If so, then yes I have it. It is what you see in the pictures I have posted.

Is this not it?
