The valve controlling the flow from the center line water holding has split and is leaking. Where do I find a replacement for the valve? Any suggestions wouild be appreciated.

These plastic valves might be off-the-shelf items at Home Depot or Lowes. I would check there first.

Two out of three on my boat cracked last season,:confused:, so I rebuilt the whole manifold out of brass, all sourced at Lowes. I used the small red-handled valves made for gas applications, (the tag said they could be used for water), and associated nipples, and elbows. It was one of the best imporvements I have ever done!
If that sounds crazy, let me explain. Now, I can [I][B]easily[/B][/I] turn the valves and as a MAJOR bonus, the small "crotch" bilge area located in the same compartment is now DRY!!! I never could figure out where the small amount of water was coming from until I did this job!
This whole setup cost somewhere ~ $80....well worth it!!

Larry,
You were right on. I found the same valve at Lowes for $2.71!
Thanks for the suggestion.
