A Few Things Could Make This System Leak.one Would Be Was The Engine Winterized ? Maybe The Air Releef Valve Is Not Fully Closed.did You Pull Up On The Ring A Few Times ? Is The Water Coming Out The Orange Nippel Straight Down Under The Air Releef Manifold Assy That Is In The BilGE On The Port Side. If Not More Then Likely The Plastic Actuator Is Cracked Or Has A Internel Problem.some Of The Merc Tecks That Work At The Marinea's Seem's To Think That Actuator Assembly Will Fail Do To Algee If The Boat Stay's In The Water For A Long Time.could Be A Loose Hose Clamp Or Missing The Blue Plug Or It's O Ring That Screws In To The Side Of The Actuator By The Orange Nippel.you Normely Find All This On The Hose But You Might Not Have The Right Amount Of Water [psi]from Your Hose At The House.just So You Know When We Run Them On The Trailer And Watch The Water [psi]on The Scan Tool It Will Be From .01-3.5 Or So When Reving The Engine,and On The Lake It Will Go As Hi As Around 17.5 [psi].do You Live Where It Will Freez?

I haven't encounter that kind of problem. You better ask an expert about that.

 

Take those 'drain actuators' out and replace them with 'brass sink drain tubing'. I've done that on a number of the "old leaky ones". You probably have a large leak on the PORT side at high speeds, right? Just do a NORMAL MANUAL WINTERIZATION, after these modifications.

 

Never had any of them stick open. Actually, I have never USED mine. I run mine once a month, so it would be a moot point.

 

Hi bmull55,

You should purchase a new boat. Don't repair your previous boat. It will take so much expenses.

Mine is doing the exact same thing! I have been trying to figure out WHERE this leak was coming from and finally found it! Can someone show me some pictures of what they did to repalce it with the "brass sink drain tubing?!" This thing fills up the bilge and i never noticed it UNTILL my BILGE PUMP went out!!! MAJOR problems then!

 

This is the piece thats leaking on mine. Coming out the bottom of it.

 

Have you tryd to pull up on the air release valve a few times to see if you can get it to stop?

 

I pulled up on it when I took the picture and didn't hear any air come out of it. I haven't tried while its running though. Honestly, I didn't know what it did, but I always saw it there - so i was a bit scared to pull it then.
