Need help with Tides StrongSeal hose routing
Posted: June 27th, 2016, 3:37 am
Can ANYONE with dripless packing and gas motors tell me where the hoses for the raw water to lube the seals hooks up to the engines? I've contacted Tides Marine and they gave me a list of where they recommend the hoses be connected. I was hoping a fellow carver owner could tell me where they hooked them up.
Clint,
Unfortunately, we don't have any information as to where they would have connected it. All we can tell you is that we recommend the following places in this order of preference.
1. Hose Tee: In-Line between the heat exchanger and riser. (as close to the heat exchanger as possible).
2. Hose Tee: In-Line between the oil cooler and heat exchanger.
3. Hose Tee: In-Line between the water pump and the oil cooler.
4. Drain Plug: Hose barb in the heat exchanger.
5. Drain Plug: Hose barb in the oil cooler (only if oil cooler is on the pressure side of the water pump). The bore should be at least .200".
6. Drain Plug: Hose barb in the back of the water pump. Be sure the drain is on the pressure side of the pump.
Thank you for shopping with
