Lol, yes Searay a US built boat comes with Metric water fittings. I live in Canada, a metric country, but I can only buy the same fittings in Imperial sizes at the major hardware stores, go figure. I needed to special order them. Word to the wise, if you try to substitute the imperial for metric...
