I need some help. I need to identify a plastic object leaking in my bilge area. Unfortunately, I didn't have my camera with me to take pics of it. And my boat is about an hour away from me. If anyone has bilge area/engine shots of Prostar 190's from the late 90's they could send me I would appreciate it. I couldn't locate any pics on my computer or see any in the manual. For reference, the object in question is on the right side of the bilge area (when looking out the back/aft of the boat). It is at the front of the engine bay opening on the right side, it has a clear plastic top with tubes coming out of it and it is sitting on a larger black cylinder. The object looks like a plastic version of a fuel filter. The plastic top is cracked and leaking water. Any help with pics or identifying the mystery object would be appreciated.

Sounds like a raw water filter. Does it look like this?

No, unfortunately I wish that was it. It is bell shaped with a clear plastic top. Anyone have pictures of the engine bay/bilge area? I will repost with a nice big red arrow of the part if I can get a shot of what it is.
