I have an SD50, with Yanmar factory water intake valve. On the valve stem near the top end there is a stiff metal wire bail that is attached to the stem. Does anyone know what function this bail performs? And if it becomes detached is that a problem? thx

Welcome to SBO.
Challenge to get a good response to your query is to share detail or post a picture.

Yes a good picture is worth a thousand words. I think of it as a way to save a lot of typing.

Picture and the words. What is this?

Hi Jim, welcome to the site. At the risk of repeating what others have said:

Picture, picture, picture

:worthless:

It's the:
Yanmar factory water intake valve.
that's got me stumped. Thru-hull isolation valve ? Engine mounted valve ? AF inlet valve ?

One picture will tell all.
