Yup and then water slowly takes up the air space once you shut it down. On start up, water flows again until the same thing happens. Luckily, most problems are simple fixes. This time F it worked! One of the better tools in the box. Glad it's all fixed.

Since the strainer isn’t the issue. Work towards the seawater pump. Check the hose between the strainer and the impeller housing for blockage.

Any issues with the low pressure side? Perhaps a blockage between the seacock and pump?

Those are good wrenches. If the strap breaks, like mine did, don't toss it. You can wrap the strap around the filter and then use a conventional steel loop wrench over top. Works flawlessly.

Firstly, and don't take this the wrong way but ensure you're turning it the correct direction. It's mounted upside, most likely. Next, I have had luck with wrapping the filter with a non skid material like a rubber strap. Many years ago, while changing a buddy's oil filter, I stole my wife's...

Mounting them on the underside of the hatch would work very well then, especially if you can articulate them. Go bright or go home.

I recently replaced the engine room lights in our 400 DB. I used LED utility lights that were mounted through the aluminum rails. They are numerous (8) and are adjustable and aimed into the areas that need to be illuminated. The place looks like an operating room now. Even though they are...

I disconnected and removed the choke plates and related linkages from my last two gassers. I got tired of watching unburned fuel floating around the back of the boat while waiting for the chokes to open up. Just a couple of extra pumps on the throttle levers before cranking and then feather...

In the past, I have always made templates for flooring and carpets with vapour barrier. Buy a roll from your local Home Depot or Lowes. Cut a rough template and install cheap (zinc plated) dome snaps in the appropriate spots so you can snap it down. Once tight and straight, cut off excess...
