I just changed many head hoses this past winter. In the aft head I used
Trident 101 and in the forward head I used Sealand Odorsafe.
I preferred the Trident. It was much easier to get onto hose barbs. I am
very uneasy with heating the Sealand hose enough to get it on to the barb.
It is a very sticky hose and is very difficult to get on the barb. The
Trident was very easy, easiest of all the hoses I've worked with so far. The
Trident is a bit stiffer but I also like that it is double wall and wire
re-enforced.

barb.

<snip> I used some inexpensive silicone tub sealant to help with assembly of the SeaLand hoses, it provided some lubrication to aid assembly, plus I've learned that it also aids in removing them for service, etc. at the same time providing an additional sealer. When heating the hose, I did mine in the winter, so had some electric heaters going, put the hose close to the heater to heat up the whole section. In addition, when I heated the hose with the heat gun, I blew the heat gun into the ID of the hose to heat it from the inside. It seemed to stay flexible longer and was really no problem at all to work with.

A trick I learned from a professional installer is to use KY Jelly. It is sli
ppery when you use it, but then hardens up (glycerine is a sugar). Best of al
l it's easy to get apart.
