hi, my boat was peeing yesterday and is not today. i wanted to try to fix it myself but i can't figure out how to get the plastic cover off what i believe to be the river water intake with metal mesh filter. i tried, with my hand so i don't break anything, twisting it left and right and straight off. nothing. it's plastic so i don't want to use channel locks on it. what is the secret procedure so i can then see if my river water engine coolant intake is clogged and fix her peeing issue myself? and i assume the pee, coming out of the engine, which i so dutifully look for each time i start up the engine, is river (or not coolant) water, correct? i could not find a drawing in the owner's manual for how all the hoses run, for coolant and river water. is it there that i missed or can someone send it?
thanks
