    Water pressure tubing leaking in bilge. Tubing kit.

    2016 Merc Pro Xs
    S/N: 2B122037

    Water pressure gauge quit working. Chased it down to a chafe leak in the bilge area. I cant put my hands on it so I figure I will need to run new tubing.
    Its on a 19 foot Bass Cat Pantera II.

    Is there a tubing kit I can purchase? It has the B-Nut at the gauge. Not sure if it the tubing can be pulled from the nut?
    There is a union at the engine where it goes from Black tubing to Grey.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Cut out the bad section and reconnect with union.

    Right now it looks to be up inside the aft gunnel area.
    I will see if I can pull it rearward to access the leak.
    If I can, then I will be able to install a Union.
    Thank you.

    Found multiple cracks in the line. Maybe water during the freeze?
    Have to replace from gauge back.
    Email sent to parts dept to order parts.

    You ever thought about changing to a digital gauge. You would not need any hose.

    My thoughts as well AND you will get a whole lot more engine data.

    Digital would be the way to go, but also a lot of money versus what I need right now.
    Appreciate it.

    Might also consider using the Gray-Legris tubing all the way to the front. Probably need to change the fitting at the gauge but the legris-style is more durable.

    The tubing worked great. The grey tubing is much more flexible and tough.
    Thanks for the help. You and your staff.
