Josh, you are spot-on that it is the connector between the elbow and manifold that is broken. When I zoom in on my hi-def photo, I can even see where it looks like someone tried glue when it had cracked in some prior life. We can't get to the boat until after closing, but I'm hoping I can get the old pieces out and then find the right one.
Of course, then I'll need to move the strainer to take the stress off the fitting. Thanks for the idea of using a hose splitter/manifold! I love this list!

I think the part that is actually broken is an adapter that changes from the garden hose fitting on the manifold to the MIP threads on the QEST elbow. The broken piece may also be the swivel on the manifold. C&C used these garden hose manifolds (4 way splitter) to split out the 3 supply tanks. If what is broken is actually the manifold then it should be easy to find a new one at a hardware store or Amazon. This gardenia manifold is no longer available. I've looked. But the link below is one source. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B010GZG4SK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_8KrJybGYMS8XA Josh MuckleyS/V Sea Hawk1989 C&C 37+Solomons, MD On Jan 28, 2017 1:33 PM, "Bruce Whitmore via CnC-List" <[email protected]> wrote: Hello everyone, Well, it's almost official - We're closing on a C&C 37/40+ next week! Agreements signed, funds transferred, etc. Now it's just about the paperwork. So now the fun begins - repairs! There is a broken elbow fitting at the water tank manifold - it appears to be polybutylene, but I can't tell for sure just based on the attached photo. At any rate, this comes out of the manifold and goes to a strainer. We can't fill, test or use the water system until this is fixed. Does anyone here have an idea where I might find the elbow fitting (or something else that would work)?
