    When installing hose use the heat gun and lube with water soluble lube such
    as KY jelly. I do not like the use of grease.

    has been remarkably easy due to the smart layout of the boat and the easy
    access to critical spaces. However, I am having a terrible time with one
    thing. Does anyone have any secrets to make connecting the firm white
    sanitation hose (or any hose for that matter) over a fitting with a hose
    barb easier? I tried soap, vaseline, baby oil, vegetable oil with no
    success. I tied stretching the hose but it is so firm. I know someone out
    there has a smart idea that I am unaware of. Help! My hands are raw!
