Abstract

This adapter consists primarily of a main body with an insert, which connects to the deck fitting of a boat, so as to enable a constant flow of water to be supplied, by a garden hose, to the boat's holding tanks, when the boat is at dock-side. The adapter includes a screw cap, so as to enable the tanks to be filled by bucket, or other methods when desired, and it further includes an inspection window, and a strainer.
