210 FSH leaking

So last trip I had a considerable amount of water in the bilge. Did a little troubleshooting and discovered an air tube was disconnected on the aerator!

So here is a picture of where it was disconnected. Also have some water getting in behind the cable for the reversing bucket. What product is used to seal these? It looks like a big glob of silicone.

What did you remove to get that kind of access to the back of the live well?

 

[Floridaman79]

Just the back access cover and the big rubber exhaust tube. Even still it was a blind feel to get the air tube hooked up. Once I opened the hatch on the livewell it illuminated lime a big blue lamp shade which made finding things in the inspection mirror a lot easier.

Thanks I finally figured it out. Still going to be a PITA when time comes to replace pumps. I can't believe there is not better access to pumps than this.

Yeah, I was really glad it wasn't the overflow leaking. Not sure how one would replace the overflow hose. I have a service manual on order, I hope it goes into some detail.
