    Any clues to what these are?

    Yeah my best guess was for soap and conditioner. There is also one on cockpit sink. Given the bases are already glued, I was wanting to find the right dispensers. At this point it looks like I am ripping them off.

    5.0 GXI-N Cooling System

    thinking out loud here.... if when connected to the flush fitting (engines off) the water if flowing back and escaping via the drive pickups perfectly, wouldn't that rule out blockage?
