See above (well, prior) for contradiction...
The trick IMHO is to be absolutely anal about making up your joints. Use
cleaner, use a bit of sandpaper first to make sure all pipes can bottom out
in the joint, and be a real slob about how much glue you use on both pieces
before you apply the half-twist to seal it as you seat it.
If your boat has more abuse in twisting and banging than ours did in that
wreck, I doubt you'll be worried about your plumbing when it's over, as it
will either be on the bottom or in a body bag :{))
See my gallery for pix of that if you like. My apologies for not having
the direct link, but I think it was most likely in the spring or summer
months of 2006 that it went in, and the gallery with the pic of us on our
side details the wreck and rehab...
