The shower/faucet hose in my 88 Mark 1 has disintegrated. No local plumbing supply shops have a replacement. Catalina Direct sells a shower hose, but I can't tell if the threads will match up. Has anyone else solved this problem?

You can take your old hose to the hardware store to figure out the correct threads by trying various sizes of plumbing fittings until you find the right one.
I bought an incomplete cockpit shower kit at a yard sale, ended up using a kitchen sink spray nozzle/hose.
RV parts stores can also be a good source for things like this.

We just replaced ours because the shower head itself was leaking and I still have the complete unit. (We replaced with faucet only and mounted a separate shower fixture on the wall.) If you are interested I can photograph it for you to make sure it is the same, if you would like to buy it off us for a small donation to our beer fund - say $5 plus shipping? Let me know if you are still looking.

After contacting Catalina in Florida (Ken responds to email) and failing to get a response from Catalina in California, it turned out that a Catalina dealer in Ventura Harbor found one in a closet that fit my boat. Thanks for the responses.
