I'm 2 weeks into a 2006 340 DA and am running into an issue. We recently went out only to have my high water alarm go off shortly after leaving slip. I pull up to the fuel dock and check and my bilge is filling with water. We determined that the rear bilge pump check valve has jammed shut. However we couldn't figure out where the water was coming in. Finally we found it. The generator siphon break is pumping water into the upper starboard area of the bilge. The technician has already checked and replaced the little duckbill valve in the siphon break and it keeps pushing water in. We've determined that water is coming out of the exhaust at an acceptable level and to double check I blew through the exhaust side and don't have any detectable pressure but obviously we are getting enough to turn that duckbill inside out. The break is mounted just below the deck so I'm not sure if it can be mounted any higher. Does anyone else have any thoughts on this? Could the manifold be going bad?
Our technician reached out to Kohler and unfortunately the Marine Tech was at the Ft. Lauderdale boat show. The industrial power Tech recommended putting an acid wash down the exhaust side in case something was clogging it up. No improvement.
Thanks in advance
