the bulkhead being "backwards" shouldnt make a difference as long as the seal is on the proper side? i hope



then got creative with the old stock reefer float location and made a strainer fitting for the waterline that will pull old water out and discard downstairs to drain. should i have a siphon break on this line? i dont believe the DOS will allow siphon through it?


You know the fittings are metric right? 1 inch shouldn't thread right in and that is likely why it was cracked ?
