Hi all,
My boat has no weed filter fitted, In fact water comes in via the usual brass fitting,and enters the rear end of the gearbox. It then exits to the pump in the normal manner. What I'd really like to know, is, why is this in the first place, and secondly, by fitting a new filter, would it have any adverse effect. I just can't get my head round the fact that one wasn't fitted in the first place, there must be a reason I suppose. I've asked this question before, on a different site, but not really got a proper answer or reason.
Hope someone can advise.
Baz
