stupid question

Post by C0ps »

I'm sorry, I'm new to Carver boats and have what I think is a stupid question. In my Aft cabin under an access panel, There is a thick hose that leads outside to the bottom of my boat and has a shutoff valve. what exits or enters in this hose?

My grandfather once told me the only stupid or dumb question is the one you don't ask. Actually though there is a lot of knowledge here. We need more specific information like the year and model of your Carver for starters.

Someone here should be able to assist you.

That looks like it is an inlet for either your a/c or your head. Follow the line and see where it goes.

Ok, so must be for the head because I dont have AC. I thought the water from the toilet came from the fresh water tank.

Put your phone down there and take a pic under the flooring......sometimes a bright light and a mirror helps to see behind things.
FWIW.....The above is just my opinion.

That vintage carver most likely has a raritan head with raw water flush, not freshwater flush. Take a pic of the hoses at the base of the head and post it here when you can.
