Where to plumb this small fitting on Hardin/Gil 9" Riser?
I recently purchased Hardin's replacement for the GiL HP500 9" riser. I have never seen the small 3/8 fitting on the underside, and I'm not sure where I have to plumb it.
Hardin told me Gil added these to the HP500 and 525's, but I can't find any picts where this should be plumbed, no schematics, no text.
Where does this get plumbed, to the sternside on the water rail (small 3/8" plug), or the sternside of the upper manifold (3/4" plug)? The fitting itself takes a 3/8 hose, so I'm thinking to the water rail.
Also, what is the purpose for this extra fitting?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks guys. So it goes to the 3/4" on the top of the manifold, opposite the normal hose hookup. Any pictures? I'm thinking -6 (dash six) braided hose would kind of dress it up a bit.
And the fitting I'll need is 3/4 pipe thread to 1/4? Hardin said it uses 3/8" hose.

And still not 1 picture, schematic or diagram of the setup from Merc, Gil, Hardin, or community. This must be a great kept secret.
Hardin sells a kit for it with hose and fittings to make it easy, maybe it will make more sense to me when I get it. But of course they don't have it listed or pictured on their website. DOH!!!
