I found this spigot attached to a hose and wondered what it might be used for?

Follow the hose and see what it goes to.

Sorry, it goes to a yellow box that I'm assuming is a pump of some sort.

Will do, Don. It's pretty well buried, but I'll get to it in the AM.

thanks

OK....the hose goes to a pump that is attached to the transom and has an inlet through the transom. I think it's for pumping fresh water into the live wells on the boat. I can't find a switch for it and it looks as if it was put there at the factory, but who knows.

In the future, when you have problems or need information about things, there are other forums other than here in the Volvo forum for those questions. This forum is for Volvo engine and drive tech questions. Have a look here http://forums.iboats.com/forum.php
