And I did just wash the boat so it may have got wet or have moisture in it. Makes sense! Thanks Grant!
Damn... that’s a lot of work. God bless Florida living.
Thanks Tom! And yes, confirmed as part number 4943247. I'll be ordering two so I have a spare.
Cool, beats gallons and gallons of pink stuff. Where did you hook up the fitting? The city water inlet? One location and then went systemically and opened each valve? Also, what’d you use to bypass the hot water tank?
I used to use an old fire extinguisher (think the old shiny reflective commercial ones) filled with pink stuff and hook it up to the thru hull when the boat was out of the water. The extinguisher was ‘charged’ so I’d just discharge it until pink came out of the discharge port. Always worked great - somehow lost that extinguisher and have had the yard do it ever since.
My slip is on a T-head. I put the boat Port side to which is where my AC cooling water discharges are. I use the dock water hose to blow back through the AC discharge (using a rag as a make-shift seal). I have the AC seacock closed and the strainer top open. I push clean dock water back through the AC lines, into the bilge, the bilge pump kicks and and brown chocolate water comes pouring out. (I slip in fresh water). I do this through several cycles of the bilge pump kicking on and the discharge water runs "clear". Then, I use the shop vac to clean out the bilge area where the AC seacock it. This I have a bilge pump hooked to a 12 volt battery, and I pump Pink from a buck from the dischare on the side of the boat back to the the AC seacock. When the bilge pump spits out pink, I stop. I vacuum out the bilge and then do the other AC discharge (I have 2 AC systems, but only 1 seacock). Very simple and uses very littly Pink.
I may be wrong but does it not depend on which fuel line it is? I had to replace one this summer and had to make sure I ordered “#6”. Also, they redesigned them with an anti vibration fitting attached so it will look different.
