Okay. I'm exposing my ignorance. I cannot for the life of me understand the purpose of the thru hull fitting I have found a leak in . This is a 18 foot ski/deck boat and the thru hull fitting is located just to the left of the hull drain in the transom. On the inside of the engine compartment it has a hose which leads up under the fuel tank. This boat is not for fishing so has no live wells. What on the earth is this thru hull and hose for?
Thanks for helping a novice.

Re: Help Thur Hull Fittings

Some ski boats were equipped with ballast tanks to increase their wake..... this might just be a piece of that option.
