So I hauled the boat out to my parents place for a couple days of skiing at all the old haunts. We plopped the thing in Monday morning and after about 10 minutes, my kids are holding their feet above the ever deepening water on the floor of the boat; and they say it's hot :eek: . So I blow back to the dock and find this:

My cooling water dump had fatigued, corroded, or whatever right on the inside of the transom. So all of my cooling water was being very nicely dumped into the bilge.
Of the 3 boat shops that used to be out there, one was gone and the other 2 were closed on Mondays. :mad: So like any good jet boater I went to the local plubing supply shop and found this baby http://www2.***boat.com/image_center/data/520/1341Plumbing_part.JPG
The barbed portion was the same OD as the original hull fitting so I pushed it in from the outside with a little cheap silicone on it, re-attached the hose and had two fantastic days of skiing.

P.S. The new polished water dumps are on the way from Rex.
