Hello Guys,
I found a broken pipe and was wondering if it is the supply to the engine for cooling?

[Squizz]

Where I asked if that was the bilge pipe, it actually goes up to the engine... I cant find any sort of bilge suction or drain!!!! So all water pipes go the the engine exhaust box area. Did some early models come without bilge scavenge?

Hey there..

Firstly, welcome to the Forum..

I would doubt any came "without" a bilge siphon of some description.!
This here is a good source of parts and to a certain degree information.

In your picture I'm fairly certain the one connected to the pump is the actual engine cooling line.
-(the one that enters the hull via the black thru-hull fitting)
I'm reasonably sure the one that isn't connected to anything is your bilge line
- (the one you found broken)

There's a few guys on here run these proper "old school" ski's who''ll be able to help..

thanks for the reply and went and had another look. I double checked and both lines coming from the pump go to the engine. So I have 3 lines coming going into the engine, 2 from the pump and 1 where the flush line quick disconnect goes in. There is no bilge plate or any lines leading to the floor. The only way trapped water could get out is via the two
bungs at the back.

here are the three lines

and the broken lines leads to here.

The one that goes straight off the pump is the water supply. The one going straight out the back next to the large one is the water outlet, the hose hooked to the "wash" should lead to your flush kit.
