water pressure regulator has started dripping

[bigtexan99]

Towards the end of my ride yesterday I noticed that the water pressure regulator started to leak a little bit. See photo appears to be leaking where I put blue spots. Not actual picture of my regulator.

Any ideas?

open it up and have a look, the clamp that holds on the rubber bellows tends to rust away and may have poked a hole in the bellows.

Okay, I played around with it for a bit. It seems like that crusty rusty stuff was a disintegrated clamp. I got that all off and put a little water in the bellows and it seems to hold water just fine. I'm thinking water was dripping out the seal because the clamp was no longer applying pressure.

Here is a photo of it cleaned up and re-assembled. I just need to find a clamp to put on there and then I will reinstall on the boat and see if it still leaks.

Use a cable tie.

yep, that clump of rust was the clamp. Mine was rusted all the way thru. I think it was SeadooSnipe that cautioned that if you use a cable tie, he suggests trimming the corners off the nub so it doesn't wear a hole in the bellows and to make sure the cable tie is thin enough to fit in the groove of the bellows.

Thanks guys, I thought about using a zip tie but it looks like the ratcheting nub would be in the way.... I think I can find a clamp in the garage....
