Do you know why the top part does not close completely? Is this supposed to be loose? Water gets into the engine area.

Not enough information to answer directly. Most Common cause would be battery are wires incorrectly placed. Compartment is very tight, be sure your battery are seated correctly, and the wires are neatly tucked. Second make sure the rubber band strap is not streached out. A worn out rubber band will not have the power to pull the lid down for a good seal.without seeing pics thats the best I can do. Good luck mines 2 years old and still going strong.

I've had the same problem! It's impossible to get the water out too! Could there be a missing gasket? If you get an answer, please let me know. Thanks!

I have my transducer mounted on the transom of my 24' center console with an outboard engine. I start to lose the bottom when I get in the upper teens MPH which is very frustrating. I believe that my transducer is getting some interference to the water flow and will try to reposition it.

Mine does the same thing. I've used it all summer. I think it is supposed to be a little loose. Only drawback is that it collects rainwater... So be careful after the rain:)

When you first take it out of the box it does appear like there's a gap, but when you pressure mount it as you tighten it the gap should close.

don't know if you're still worrying about this, but in case you haven't gotten an answer: it might be because you aren't pressing down hard enough to create a seal. water may leak through the sides and down into the "filtered" section.

I had this on my mower for a year and the threads into the engine were loose this spring when I went to change the oil. It hadn't leaked, the quarter turn valve was still in the closed position, but the entire assent into the engine was very loose. I would recommend using threadlocker like loc-tite when installing. One issue with my mower (deere d140) was that tool access was tight, so it's possible I didn't tighten to a proper torque.

Since mine is installed, the main valve has been remained open. If your spray head is leaking, my guess is that you have less than perfect parts and/or the installation was not done properly.

Assuming it is on correctly (top is thin to not interfer with open and close lever action), some sort of misshape does seem to be involved. Send for a new one. Mine closes completely.

Sometimes I have this problem if I don't completely release all of the pressure. If that doesn't work, use a little oil and run it as close to the seal as possible.

Mine is very tight, no worries about it being knocked loose. If your comes out too easily you may have a defective unit.

Where is it leaking from? Are you making sure the lever is closed all the way? Sometimes it can be a little difficult to close all the way

It could be that the valve is stuck. My manual suggests making sure that it is clean. If it is coming out around the edges, then you need to check the sealer ring and make sure it is in good shape and seated properly.

Loosen and retighten the bolts at each joint. If it still leaks, it is defective. Return it to Amazon.

It sounds like the O Ring is stuck. You may tear the O Ring up getting it off. There is a lot of corrosion there. When you put it back on, put clear waterproof grease around the O Ring and the place it fits in. Also around the threads. I had the same problem until I did this.

Two things to check if this happens - make sure that the rubber washers in the connectors are seated tightly and properly for optimal seal. Secondly, you must tighten the plastic connectors a bit more than 'hand tight' - use a 'channellock' pliers to gently tighten both the top and bottom connectors for optimal seal. There should be no water leaks once you've taken these two easy steps.

where is the leak in the bottom cap , if so check to see if the gasket is there. and also see if its not ripped/ torn anywheres along the edges . if it the little plunger make sure there is no scale build up on it that might keep it open when you turn the reservoir back over when you carry it . other wise it may have a crack some place .
