Water hose in transom assembly.
I bought a good used transom assembly for my 242. When I installed it, I noticed the water hose seems loose at the gimbal housing. I do not want to disassemble the transom assembly. I bought the insert tool and inserts on ebay tonight. Will I be able to locate the hose on the transom plate and install the tapered fitting from the inside of the boat?

Motor is out. Inspected it today. The area on the gimbal housing had a little bit of corrosion. I didn't want to have it fail later on so I ordered an aftermarket repair kit.

Just an FYI. Mercury came out with a fix for the intake hose where it goes thru transom assy. The replacement hose now comes as a kit with a plastic pipe where it passes thru transom. All new transom assby. Have this new hose with tube.

I was putting in a new transom aassby. About a mount ago and there was a plastic thing sticking out were inside water neck bolts on. Something didn't look right so I called Merc Tech support they said there should have been a bulletin in the box about new hose. I had parts guy pull water hose that were in stock and found new ones that have plastic tube. I am not sure of part number as shop is closed for holidays so I don't want to give wrong part number. I do have a copy of the instruction for the new Bravo water hose Kit assby. its four pages if you send a PM with your e mail I can take pictures with my iPad and send to you

Mercruiser has not update the parts schematics for the newest parts nor the part #'s to show on the parts search. IMO they still might have the water inlet male quick connect available possible in x amount quantities that need to sell first. Just a guess at this point.

Attempted fix at the moment not really having that much tested service time as of yet. And like I said you not find anything currently about it as IMO the older parts need to get off the shelf beforehand. I still have 5 in stock so I could just image what the numbers really are elsewhere including at Merc..
