Was messing about with something in the cockpit locker and a misstep caused this fitting to fail. This fitting provides the barbed end for the flexible hose connection to the raw water seacock. It didn’t take much pressure to snap it off, and I do wonder about the material’s strength. The only locally available replacement was even less substantial, with a very short hose barb.
I installed it anyway as a temporary measure, and ordered a fitting from the local marine store. I also purchased a fitting from a chandlery in La Rochelle France. (A timely visit!)
Much more substantial!
