[C320-list] fresh water leak ( found it)

[Jeffrey Hare]

Hey John,

   If the fitting looks *something* like this:

Then you use teflon tape to seal the threads, and simply push the red/blue
tubing hard into the fitting to reseat that part.

If the threaded part isn't leaking, then just pushing the tubing back into
the fitting will pop it past the internal O-ring and should reseal the pipe.

If it's not sealing, the fitting should be replaced and WM/BoatU$ carries
them.

-Jeff

I wanted to thank everyone again for helping out with our leak. It  turned 
out to be the cold water cockpit shower fitting (where the line connects  to
the 
fitting).  As soon as I turned on the pressure pump it started  to leak
about 
a small cup every 15 minutes. Some input on these  fittings & lines would 
help. They look like they screw together? Do you need  to use putty or
pluming 
tape? I'll also check the achieves for info. Mahalo JOHN  & BOBBI
