[Public-List] Water intakes

One thing I did learn...don't try to thread NPT nipples into metric-based threads....apparently I'm not the first to suffer from this....the Catalina group has also had a rash of the wrong oil pressure senders threaded into metric block...be forewarned....it's a really bad feeling to hear that final "clank" and just know that bad things have just happened :-(
