New here and just bought my first HiLo. Not sure even what it is but couldn't pass on deal. Gonna gut it and start over. The guy said he didn't know if the pump worked but I put a battery on it and all seems to work fine. I greased everything and I have no issues except one, (so far).

Fluid leaking at top of pump at, where it looks like someone put a bolt in the fill hole. Where can I get this or any help would be appreciated.

This will be the first of many post so please be patient.

I am an airboat builder and bow fisherman and this is my first camper with zero experience.

It's just a regular pipe plug you can buy at the hardware store

Ty, it is plastic and wasn't sure if it was specific to this pump. Where do u guys buy your parts? Where would I look to find out what this thing is?

On my HiLo the fill plug is on the other end of the reservoir and has a plastic cap on it. Does your HiLo reservoir have only the one fill plug that is in the photo? The fill cap must have a small vent hole in it so no pressure or vacuum can build up when you raise or lower the top. If your reservoir is leaking fluid and making a mess the reservoir has probally been overfilled. When the top is down the fluid level should be 1" below the fill opening. When the top is rasied their should be only aprox 1" of fluid in the bottom of the reservoir. The fluid is Dextron auto tranmission fluid.
