Hi



Does anyone know where the valve is that controls flow from the rear water 

tank to the pump in MK II hull?  The plumbing diagram in the handbook (which 

looks like a MK I drawing) shows it as being under the sink but I cannot see 

it there, despite disassembling the draws etc.  I can see the feed pipe from 

the tank coming into that area and lots of T fittings etc. but no control 

valve.  The run of pipe is hidden from near the stuffing box till under the 

sink as far as I can see.  The exit from the tank is a Whale fitting with no 

valve.



At the beginning of the season the Whale fitting leaked badly when I flushed 

out the antifreeze.  I was heading off traveling so the dealer had a part 

time staff member fix the problem, presumably that person shut the control 

valve.  The dealer does not know where it is and I may have to wait some 

time for him to pass by to try and find it.  Has anybody else any idea?  We 

currently have a full stern tank but are only drawing water from the bow 

tank.



Thanks
