Remote oil filter leak 2005 Excalibur 330.

[Alolsen2012]

Noticed this leak today, takes about 3-5 min of running to get how it is in the picture from being cleaned. So not slow but not fast. Is there an o ring or something or do I just need a new line?

Are you SURE it isn't leaking from the connection point up higher, and dripping down the line and collecting there? It is much easier to tighten a bolt than to replace the lines.

Just double checked, on the boat rn. It’s def coming from where it’s pooling up . Also just noticed that it stops at operating temp for the most part.

Probably best to replace them then. At least they aren't too expensive.

I have the exact same boat, exact same leak. If you replace them, I'd be curious to know how difficult it is.

I've replaced them before on an EX343. It's not hard but mark everything very well, you do not want to get them swapped anywhere. I'd also suggest having the o-ring(s) for the adapter that mounts to the original engine oil filter location. That often leaks after taking it on and off to replace the hoses if you don't also replace that o-ring(s). I can't remember off-hand if it's one or two o-ring(s) in that adapter.

Ok I’ll just go ahead and grab 2 of these and swap, that listing says 2006+, is there any reason it wouldn’t fit a 2005? I’d imagine motor didn’t really change but wanna make sure.

Any chance you have a link for those o rings ?

I don't recall where I got the o-rings. Since I didn't have them when I changed the hoses, I had to order them and go back and take things apart again. So I may have measured them and ordered them from McMaster Carr. Or I may have called Nautique Parts and gotten them there. You want to have o-rings index numbers 5, 15, 17 in the linked parts breakdown. O-rings 5 may come with the hoses, but I'd make sure.

Measure the length of your existing hoses to make sure you're ordering the right ones.

Pretty sure these are 15 and 17 from that parts breakdown, but again, I would also double check with NP before ordering.

EDIT:

And 5:

found all the o rings, thanks.

just curious, is there a reason I can’t just disconnect the lines at the 90* elbow for the bottom side?. (original oil filter location ) This way I could avoid having to replace #15, 17 o rings? Or am I missing something and the adapter parts need to come off?

Sure, if you can get to them without removing the adapter. Actually, now that you mention it, I'm not sure I actually initially removed the adapter. It may have been that it just started leaking after I torqued on the hose fittings. It's been a couple of years since I did this, and I work on a lot of different boats, so sometimes it's hard to remember all the details exactly.
