Check valve for gen set

Twice in the last couple of mos the gen set raw water check valve (a gate valve) wouldn't open. Was going to purchase a new one but was wondering if it needs to be in the hose at all?

I was in the Banking business then and had loaned money on three of the barges and the tug boat. Barges popped back up but not the tug. A few years later they closed and flooded Belle Isle salt mine near Morgan City, La. to prevent this from happening again.

I'm having that exact problem, Walter, and wondered if that vacuum gauge (where the "T" handle goes, as you said) was worth it when I replace the bowl, thanks Bruce. I need to check clearance, Clarence, as the gauge sticks up alot. Around $60-$70 each.

Harry,
As I recall, the cables are 3/8" SS.
Double block/4 line lift
Are you referring to the worm gear that turns the pipe the cable wraps on? If so, I do not know.
2 motors/2 switches, belt driven, one wraps front and one wraps back. Switches/motors work independently, allows you to trim boat.
