2007 44 Sedan Bridge Fresh Water Manifold leaking

[captbuddy]

I have a 2007 44 Sedan Bridge. IN an access in front of the fridge there is a water distribution manifold. It appears to be leaking either between each of the ports or at the hose. I cannot be sure. Is there a part number or manual for this manifold? Has anyone ever experienced this issue, if so how did you fix or correct the problem.

Thank you

Got a picture?

What type of plumbing fittings?

That manifold arrangement is a pain in the ass. It's likely leaking at one of two places, though it could be the same problem on multiple lines. I doubt your actual manifold is leaking. Most likely source of the leak is the conical gasket inside of each threaded hose end. MarineMax stocks those. Sometimes replacing those still don't give a good seal. In that case, cut the end of the hose off and install a barbed 1/2" NPT fitting with hose clamps. It's also not uncommon for the crimped fitting to leak. If that's the case either get the crimping too or replace the fitting with the 1/2 NPT fitting, as before. Good luck.

Most of my leaks were fixed by tightenning individual connections. But, I also like Brian's suggestion. I had to do this for water heater connections. If I'll find the part number, I'll post it.

Two different leaks on the 340 I had previously.

One was fixed with tightening lines. The other was a crack in one of the line connections on the manifold itself. Required replacing the manifold. Not a huge thing, just took some time.

Be careful tightening connections that don't leak. The conical washers are pretty sensitive and you could create a leak by tighenting things!
