Greetings,

The fresh water inlet connection has sprung a leak and I'm hoping somebody can guide me towards a suitable replacement. I found this SHURFLO Flush Mount Water Regulator on West Marine (https://www.westmarine.com/buy/shurflo--flush-mount-water-regulator-inlet--183725) that looks like what I need but I don't see anything about the connection on the back. Anybody replaced this before that might know if I'll need any additional parts or if I'll likely be able to screw right on to the new one as-is?

Anyone care to comment on the 2 hose faucets? I've got one, for a "washdown", but have never seen 2. Wonder if the other is a salt water washdown....
 
I replaced mine last year, was same model number as old but did not fit had to open the hole up about 1/2" for it to work.
Took old one apart and cleaned it up, working again so i have a spare.

Cheers
 
If you have the jabasco/xylem inlet the shurflo will be a little larger but it is worth the extra effort. The newer jabasco/xylem was junk and blew out after about 6mos. The shurflo was much better built.

Its not just an inlet, it's also a pressure regulator in many cases to prevent high dock side pressure from being applied inside the boat.
