Greetings,
Having recently replaced my raw water impeller and flushed the system, I decided to add a thru hull sea water scoop, strainer, and a flushing tee. I'll abandon and plug the hose from the outdrive. Midway between the pump and transom I run into this:
Here's my confusion. The red hose (sea water in) goes thru this device and into the pump. It looks like a tee comes out of the bottom into the black hose (sea water return). Please explain the operation and function of this actuator.
TIA
Russ
