Problems with GIII Upgrade (Pump Hose Connection & Through-Hulls)

[parrothd]

Once it cures use a pipe wrench or locking pliers to grab and hold the lower threads while installing the ball valve. If you don't you'll break the seal and have to start over again. Make sure to it grab the lower threads, not where your putting the ball valve ..

Again, you don't need to get the ball valve super tight, just really snug with a wrench. I use a little dab of pipe dope on those threads, helps it go on easier and you don't have to over tighten it.

Sometimes you'll end up super tight depending on where you want the handle so plan ahead.. Lol.
