Water in ski locker

[csaj4506]

Does anyone know if they make a check valve for the ski locker so the water would drain to the motor compartment but not be able to return to the ski locker?

Can anyone help? I'm looking for a check valve to fit between the ski locker and engine compartment.

I have not heard of anything.......Have you checked with your dealer. And if you have and they have said no then you might be able to find something at a local parts store or even possibly and local hardware store.

Some type of check valve with a floating ball in the base that would float up and make a seal where you would get them beats me. Perhaps the hardware store or plumbing store. Good luck.

Was hoping that someone had already solved this problem. I'll look around and see what I can find.

Hey The BleuRue

On my old jetboat I had a flapper valve similar to the exhaust flappers that I got from the marine store. It was basically a plate that was screwed onto the transom which allowed the bilge to drain each time you accellerated. Does all this make sense ? No factory item exists that I know of. I do agree that it is a good idea.

Update on bilge drain

Here is a link to the shop that carries the item I mentioned above
