If it was only that,

I would not be concerned.
Like you I am sure I could figure a way to make it sit back out there.
My problem is the break of the outer, it allows a torrent of water in at speed and the connection was full of it.
Possibly why the PDC module poo'd itself.
Soooo, I want to replace the crappy thing and reduce the water intake before i put the new control module in. Them suckers ain't cheap!
