Hmm, now I'm wondering if perhaps I used the dreaded conductivity killer teflon tape when screwing the Tee back into the block. I can't recall and can't find a picture of my work. Oh well, just another excuse to spend the day at the boat this weekend!

update, I did find a picture and see no evidence of teflon tape.
Thanks John
