225 pro xs - leak in water pressure gauge line?

[wallysone]

Hi folks,

I have 2008 225 pro xs running smart craft gauges. I note that when running, water is leaking back into the boat from where the lines enter the hull.

The only explanation I can think of is that the water pressure line that may typically be used to run a pressure gauge (?) is leaking in the hose that carries the lines from the motor to the hull.....can I cap this line at the motor somewhere given I am using smart craft? Do I need it????

Sorry for the poor explanation, the guys that fitted the engine did a ‘very’ rough job - I figure there’s a join or blanking plug in the hose somewhere that is leaking 😣

Any help/ideas would be ‘greatly’ appreciated

The line going to the rigging tube can be capped .

If you would, please take a moment to review the Announcements at the top of the Forum, and be sure to provide the Required Information each time you post. Thanks!

Look for small gray tubing coming up the PORT side of the engine- it was plugged off from the factory, but may have been connected to something in the boat.

Also note: Small BLACK tubing coming up from the swivel shaft is PITOT (analog Speedometer) tubing. If the water appears only when the boat is underway... it may be the pitot tubing that's leaking.

Same issue here today. Just wondering what you capped it with? I also have smart craft now and no need for analog gauge.

Recommend opening separate post for your separate engine (and provide the required info per the Forum Announcements). Thanks!
