    Water leaking under console

    I had some water start leaking under my console, looks to be coming from the water pressure gauge, all the hoses seem to be connected. Not sure what to look for next. Is there any danger to keep running the boat with it leaking like that?

    No problem is you like wet feet. You can pull the hose off and install a golf Tee in the hose and verify the leak has stopped.

    Alright thanks. I plan on trying to fix it. Just had plans to use it all weekend and didn't want to cause any damage to the engine or anything.

    Could also be the hose going to the speedo if you have one.

    Leak is coming from the right side of the console, speedo is on the left side. That's why I was thinking water pressure gauge.

    That's what I figured, my main question was is there any harm in running it until I get it fixed.

    Sometimes the hose will split and leak where it goes over the barb fitting. You can cut it and heat it just a hair before putting it on and it will fit better
