Sammy0884 Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Hi Guys, i have been having some issues with my deckwash system. Its a jabsco system that picks up via a stainless skin fitting on the bottom of the hull. Most of the time it works fine, but if i use it when the boat is moving quickly the water drains and it develops an air lock, then when i next stop it will not pick up again. Is there a way i can stop this? do i need a one way valve of some sort between the skin fitting and the pump strainer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr magoo Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 my deckwash is a self bleed ing one which works ok but is getting a bit tired in its old age and now takes longer to get the water to the pump than it used too(same setup as your s ,i would defeinetly go with the one way valve ,should sort it out good luck cheers arman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
