Ok this has been bugging me for awhile now. On our 2006 Hunter 41DS the water pump loses it's suction on the Port Tank. I have tracked this down and there are only 2 fittings between the tank and the pump suction. One fitting is at the tank outlet and the other is on the upstream of the suction valve. The tank fitting is tighter than hell and the valve fitting is a whale fitting. I believe that the only way that air can get into the line is at the whale fitting. It must be a very slight leak because it does not happen all the time but that is my only explanation. My question is is there a "check" valve on the suction line inside the tank which allows the water to drain from the suction line back into the tank? It doesn't seem plausible but??? I do not have any issues with the Starboard tank losing suction. Has this happened to anyone else? Any suggestions?
