I would have looked there but in the process of going over every last screw on this boat, I already replaced that and most of the hoses. We found the leak at the return overflow. Hose and fitting was brittle after 13 years. Word of help to all, if you have water there, first place to look is this return line. Just a PITA though...Regarding water leak in the aft locker, my boat's previous owner had the problem and it turned out to be the fresh water manifold itself. The yard replaced the whole thing. I have the receipt somewhere, but the whacked him pretty good. sounds like you are homing in on the vent hose - really wish there was better access to that fresh water tank, like an inspection port. Looks like we'd have to cut up some of the seat structure just to get to it.

Would love to villain but all I did was help find it, mechanic was there and both basically found it (he knew where to go first) since I’d probably sink my boat trying. I left, he fixed, I paid, no pics. Sorry but will try to do better on next problem which should be any minute!! ThanksGreat detective work! Can you elaborate or even a pic if you have of the return overflow and return line? Thanks
Good timing, I’m having mt canvas and windows done this winter. They said they were using stataglass but after seeing Blueone’s windows, i’m Liking the poly-carbonate look They wanted 2500 for stataglass windows.Have any of you changed your cockpit eisenglass lately? Apparently I have polycarbonate, and I need at least the middle panel replaced, but the rest is going to need it soon. My canvas guy is saying that polycarbonate is a little tough to come by. Apparently the newer tech is EZ2CY, which i hear is heat bonded instead of sewn, so maybe not doable by an independent guy. The basic alternative is strataglass, but that stuff does not do real well on compound curves. Looking for input, and cost info if you have it.
Good Day Mates.....
Any information regarding locating water tank SR part no#1691489 or Dura cast #103101sr I seem to be having difficulty locating a water tank......mine has 2 cracks and is currently leaking into the bilge.
Any replies would be greatly appreciated.
The only problem with Poly is you cant roll them up. I rarely take them out so that's not a problem for me. They are crystal clear better than looking thru the windshield and no glare. I wouldn't spend the extra money for EZ2CY based on my experience so farGood timing, I’m having mt canvas and windows done this winter.

Your like a boat whisperer..... nice jobSo I took the Smartcraft SC 5000 out and plugged this in and voila...it worked. And just like that, I had an upgrade that didn't cause me a huge headache.
I bought it in a forum here. It came out of a 2007 52 DB with different Cummins power. I think it’s a Version 7 but I really don’t know. I took a shot and figured my tech could get it to play or just sell it. It was a great deal. I unplugged the old, plugged in the new, started the engines and it worked! I spoke to a VP at sbmar who told me it was a crapshoot. All I had to do was change the boat spec fuel capacity. That’s it and that simple. Lucky!Interesting. What model VesselView is that? Was it as easy as you say? Plug and Play and everything worked?

LEAKING SKYLIGHT
My skylight is leaking when it rains, and is dripping onto the carpet / skylight shade whenever it rains. Has anybody had to reseal their skylight in the main salon? Any tips for removal of old sealing and resealing?

You may want to look at Lifeseal for this. I just "recaulked" my entire boat (windshields, hull to deck, cap, etc.) and had a friend in the chemical adhesive biz break down the specs on all 3M products and some other caulking/sealant products for marine and he said the UV and elasticity, temperature range, and a lot of other tech reasons of Lifeseal far exceeded all others. 15 year+ life in direct sunlight according to the milspec. They have huge military contracts and have depth in this area. I'm happy with results but time will tell all.LEAKING SKYLIGHT
