:macx: i used a jigsaw with fine tooth metal cutting blades.Covered citting line with masking tape. Then chamfered edges with an angle grinder. Used dow corning sealer to seal the perspex to the boat with original bolts.Had to (sunbrella covers) cover the 6 windows of my x due to minute cracks formi...

i replaced mine which was a 1.5 or 2 inch transom valve model of my 1996 with a 3 inch model for which i had to carefully cut a larger hole where the previous valve was.
I bought the 3 inch valve online from a UK supplier

probably its better to replace it, i replaced mine which was always leaking from the base and very annoying.
I have an electrical pump which was fitted by the previous owner

Does anyone know of a good UK Mercury dealer / Canada Mercury dealer (Got a friend in Canada )or can anyone advise a similar replacement from another manufacturer, the part no is 825096T01 for mercury.

Bu...

Could be packaged as; fore and aft electronic valves and brain, or as just brain. Other features you'd like to see? Yes a ballast empyting system by means of a 12v pump inside the ballast tank or outside or any other combination. :macx:

:macx: i am using a Coleman (Camping Gas in Europe} rechargable air pump to empty the ballast water on my 1996 X, with partial success (probably due to the fact that the valve was fully opened). I have changed the rear ballast valve from the standard size to a 3 inch one. Next time i will try with t...
