Re: Perko 299 separator disassembly

The nut on top can fight you, so be careful you don't tear up the plywood holding the assembly. The PO on my boat did me a HUGE favor by showing me how to drain the things, using a small glass jar.

Re: Sunken 32`

That piston that was compressed probably had water in the cylinder. Hope you didn't use the rod!
