Changing Racor and Fuel Filters

[Jaws]

Chad,

Mine's coming out of storage in a couple of weeks. I'll see if they can weigh her at that time. Mine's a hardtop though with hydraulic platform and a dinghy. I hope other people will comment about the gross weight of a 460DA.

Not sure if I should have started a new thread but this seemed like the best place to start. I found these threads very useful for changing my own racors (four in all) on my qsc 540s this past week. My question however, is not covered here. The starboard engines outer filter is leaking from the racor drain plug at the bottom of the bowl, we have retightened it but not agressively as we didn't want to strip it. the other 3 are fine. all the orings that came with the filters for the t-handle and top cover were changed. is there a similar o-ring that we may need to change for the drain plug/bowl interface? Thanks

I do not recall an o-ring between the bolt and racor bowl
