Yesterday I discovered water sprouting from an apparent fitting on the port side of the assembly between the water pump and the block. Cannot find it on the Seloc online manual I just purchased.

Then like Guy says,...
Dope up a Pipeplug,+ Screw it back in....


Btw,....
If you ever want to add forced hot air heating to your cockpit, with a hotwater heater,....
That's where you tap in for the Hot Water....
You'd return it to the same lookin' plug in the Circulating Waterpump...."
