Re: Need new hydraulic valve body(PIC)
The ports are drilled into a distribution manifold. After removing pump assembly from boat you can remove the small mounting bracket to expose a bolt that holds the distribution block onto the manifold. Remove that bolt and the block comes off. It is just a rectangular block of metal with four ports drilled into it. If you can not find a replacement distribution block then go to NAPA and buy a brass 1/8" MPT to 3/16" brake tube adapter. Regular pipe threads are tapered and can split the aluminum. So try to find straight pipe threads. Also make sure to use a tap that cuts full threads down to the bottom of your hole. You don't want to switch pump types because then you'll have to take system off boat in oder to install new tubing.
