Need help locating the seals for water lines.

Good day everyone. I hope you are all well and safe. I have a 2006 Amberjack. After winterizing the freshwater system, the hot water feed from the pump and the two cold water feeds from the pump are leaking. I've tried to stop the leak by pulling out the rubber seals, cleaning them and even coating with teflon thread sealant. Nothing seems to help. Bottom line I believe is they need to be replaced. Been trying to locate the part but I can't seem to find them. Any help locating them would be great. Also if there's a trick I'm missing just incase replacement isn't possible that would also be great. Thanks again and take care.

Source of parts freshwatersystems.com. You probably have 15mm Seatech fittings, but measure first. You also may not need anything other than a couple warm days depending on where you are.

I don't know where you are, but if you are in cold weather (like New England) the temperature may be too low for the fittings to seat properly. It's the whole thermal expansion thing in reverse. BTW bringing a hair dryer/heat gun into the bilge of a gasoline boat would not be my first choice.

Thank you very much for your reply. I did find them and they are on order. I am in the northeast and it has been cold. But looking at the condition of the seals that came out, I'm not sure they had been changed out since day one. lol. Can't hurt putting new ones in and hopefully by the time they get here the weather will improve. 28 degrees this morning. Thanks again for the help and be safe.
