496 Raw Wtr Pressure Switch brass fitting?
Discovered the brass fitting/adapter that screws into my raw water pump for the sensor/pressure gauge line was practically cracked in two. I need to replace the brass adapter piece that screws into the raw water housing itelf. The water pressure sensor itself is like $89 but all I need is the brass fitting. Besides matching it up at Home Depot etc., where can I order the same piece? Mercruisser parts doesn't show it by itself that I can find.
I've had a problem with the starboard motor crapping out at around 3k rpm. I believe the loss of water thru the cracked fitting (probably broke it when I last changed my impellers) has caused the sensor to think it's lacking water pressure and gong into guardian mode. If you diconnect that sensor it won't hardly run at all and gets an alarm.
