Noticed yesterday that I have a pretty bad leak on the water radiator located under the galley sink in my 356. I can't seem to find much information about this part outside of the Hunter SOP. Are these quick release like the other fittings on the boat? I tried pushing up on the collar but it didn't seem to budge.

looks like the collett (little ring at the end of the fitting) has to be pushed into the fitting and then the tube can be removed.. The leak may be caused by a burr (from the stainless gripper) on the tube at the seal.. Worst case is you might have to get another valve for the manifold..
Thanks, that was helpful. There was one spare valve on the radiator, l believe it was for the freshwater flush option. I moved the tube to that and it seems to no longer be leaking -- I'll have to keep an eye on it.
