I've been ripping apart my ski (701 RN SJ) to get ready for paint for the last month so I haven't had a chance to spend much time on X-H2O. I came across something strange, and I'm not too sure if I should spend much time worrying about it; when I pulled out the aluminum waterbox, I noticed that something inside was rattling around. First dumb question: I'm assuming this is not normal? It definetly is not something small (ie. like a washer or small nut/bolt). It sounds like it could be something metallic and the size of a large marble (or even bigger)?? Is this common, and could it be an internal baffle that has broken loose? I cannot shake it out of there no-matter how I rotate the waterbox. Is it worth my while cutting the unit open and investigating & welding back together??? I don't know anything about these waterboxes, but do they have a flapper inside them to prevent water from siphoning back into the pipe? (if so, maybe this is what is loose).
Thanks in advance for any advice/suggestions.
