Thanks! Wow - I got more than I expected! Which leads to more... DON'T buy a cheap 12VDC pump, with intake & output tubes. Been there; Done that. The output side sprung a leak at the fitting where the hose connects. You can imagine the 'fun'!
To clarify, I was really interested to see if there is a common type of connector to the drain hose. It seems like the answer is probably no. Thanks, John for pointing us to the info at http://www.sailtravis.us/etc/oil_change/oilchange.html <http://www.sailtravis.us/etc/oil_change/oilchange.html> ! It's great!! My drain hose & fitting look just like that in one of the sailtravis photos. But the adapter for his Jabsco pump is different. But that set-up looks pretty good, and I think I'll look into it!
