   Wally,

        I replaced the tube with the same type which was there. Clear
   plastic tubing.....3/4 inch (I think).  I do not know if it was
   correct or if the PO had installed this type of tube.  I took a piece
   with me when I went to the West Marine store.

        The tubing fit onto a through hull fitting, which I used where
   the tube attached in the cockpit gutter, since my boat does not have a
   molded in nipple.   I shaved down the fitting's flange on two sides to
   match the shape of the gutter and sealed around it with  4200
   sealer.  I attached the bottom end with a stainless hose clamp of the
   appropiate size.

           I did have to cut a 3" x 4"  inspection hole in the fiberglass
   under the companion way to access the fitting nut.  I will be covering
   the hole with a piece of bevel edged  1/2" white Kingstarboard.  A
   piece of teak or other stained wood would be just as nice to cover the
   hole .

           My fuse panel is not located in that area.  Also, my boat was
   on the hard at the time.  My port side settee and c/b trunk cover were
   already out, which will be the hardest part of the job.
