QuoteThat clear part is an inline filter to keep schmutz out of the pump diaphragm.  You should be able to find a replacement.

Correct. Take a good look at the way it closes.  Think it's like a quarter turn twist.  I have to be careful when I clean mine, it does take more force than I like to put on plastic.  But that's the way it's made.  A little Superlube may help.

Do you have a photo from a little farther away to help us see how it's hooked up? It would also help to add your boat info/year in your profile signature.

Hi Ken. In response to your question about draining and refilling, I just removed my HX. To do that I drained the coolant reservoir, and drained the coolant from the HX. Just shy of a gallon coolant in total, so think the block, coolant pump, and thermostat housing were empty. After replacing the HX, I filled the reservoir, then began pumping as described above. Added more coolant into the reservoir to top off. Put the "radiator" cap on, and started the engine. Ran for about 20 minutes in the slip and temperature stayed in the normal range. I plan to take the boat out and motor around for about an hour next week to put the system under load to verify all is good. Hope that answers your question.

hello all. My fresh water pump occasionally leaks because the clear part in the picture pops open. When it does this, the freshwater tank slow drains into the bilge.

1. Does anyone know what this part is? I looked online under the model, but can't find anything that looks like this.
2. Has anyone had a similar issue?

Guys : I believe that the way that Jon and I suck the internal coolant thru the water Heater is the best way to get all of the air out after a coolant change.

One other thing that I do is - Every couple of years I add some "Water Pump Lubricant" to the system!!

A thought

Ken- the water heaters in the C34 are located under the galley sink just above the floorboards.
