On my starboard engine, the Water Distribution Housing is leaking at the point where the blue drain plug gets screwed in (Have tried two new O rings and one new plug). This engine was running 2 degrees hotter then the other one and my Smart Craft system says that my H2O pressure is lower on that engine then the other one, but the raw water flow seems to be fine coming out the exhaust (seem the same flow as the port side). As I bring the RPMs up to run the boat on plane, this is causing the engine guardian to trip on and the alert message says that the sea water pressure is to low. From the best that I could see it looks like the leak flow increases when the RPMs increase.
What does the Water Distribution Housing do (just for my knowledge) and could this leak be the cause of my lost pressure?
I take it that the only fix will be to replace the Water Distribution Housing.
