Remora c leaking

Hi all,
My remora c skimmer is dripping,I tried silicone,no help there. So I took it apart,really easy surprisingly. Any ideas to fix my issue?

Where is it dripping from? The outer shell is one solid piece. That only leaves the cup and you should be having an issue with water getting around it.

The grey fittings pressed against the housing was leaking, sorry for not clarifying.

Ah. I just went and looked at my old one. You are talking about the pipe where the pump attaches? That's glued down pretty thoroughly on mine. You could use a bead of silicone I suppose.

I tried silicone.it leaked thru a hole,I guessing too much pressure

I used Teflon tape on mine and pressed it down real good. Make sure there are no nicks, cuts or debris around it or it won't seal.

Try 2 part epoxy gel, stuff gets rock solid when it cures and will hold the full pressure of a MJ1200 or a Mag7 with ease.

Be sure to line up your nozzle right when you cement, otherwise you won't get a good bubble stream. I don't know if you're doing this but my Remora was noisy, at least for me, and I found a trick where you cut a piece of semi-rigid plastic and place soft air tubing around it, the size of the opening, you can then place it over the nozzle area to really cut down the noise. Just a FYI.
