When I went to the shop tonight I noticed a small puddle of oil below the back of the boat. Oil was dripping from the lowest point on the Powerpole lines. Fololwed it until I found the source of the leak. It appears to be leaking from the fitting that goes into the upper side of the ram in side the Powerpole. It is leaking from where the blue line goes into the fitting. Any suggestions on how to take car of this?

Cut the blue tubing in a straight line with a knife or razor blade and reinsert.

Thanks for the help. Do you mean cut it close to the fitting and just press it back in or is there more to it? How would the piece that was cut off come out of the fitting?

Pull it out of fitting first. Then cut and put back in

Those fittings release by pressing in then pulling the hose out.

Push in the collar on the fitting then pull out the hose. Those fittings have had several leak issues. PP has changed to a compression fitting now. The problem is the hose is a different size and you have to change hose & fitting to update to compression. Good Luck

Thanks for all the help. Got it reconnected and so far no more leaks. Hopefully it stays that way.
