    2005 520VX Livewell Drain leak - Need Gasket

    My livewell leaks have finally been located, and they are coming from the fittings pictured below. The livewell drains have the matching female threaded coupling which is solid, and these two piece barbed fittings with an orange gasket of some rubberish type material. The gaskets have failed due to old age. Does anyone know if these are OEM fittings from Ranger, and if replacements are available? If i can't find anything I will epoxy the two piece fitting together, but a replacement gasket would be better. Thanks.

    That looks like a standard gasket for a water hose. Go to lowes or home depot and compare.

    Yes, that is indeed a water hose gasket. I found the same problem with the livewell with one of my Rangers once. It is the connection under the bottom of the livewell where the drain hooks up. Very, very difficult to track down and very, very difficult to contort yourself enough to get at it.

    Looks like a gasket for your garden hose?

    It was a standard garden hose gasket. I replaced it, but access to those fittings is a PITA. If there is a next time, something more permanent will replace that setup.
