took my drives off to send the rings out for repair (jrmarine) and cut all the bellows and hoses, I threw everything away and gonna replace everything. Have a roll of oil hose from merc but don't know how long each hose should be. I want all this to be right when i go back together. I have called around but can't really find a solid anwser. If i knew it would be a problem, i would have kept the old hoses. Please help with the correct length! Thankyou

Nine and a half inches. If you are talking about the outer transom plate to helmet hose... Pete

the transom plate to the back of the bell housing. Oil supply line from the bottle. 9.5" are you sure?

Got ya.. Thought you talking about the out side of the boat. Inside measurement would depend on the location of the bottle, on transom, exhaust? Just buy 5 or 6 feet and cut to suit..

sorry...i am talking about the hose outside the boat. From the transom plate to the back of the bell housing. the fex piece that moves when the drive is trimmed. How long...9" are you sure?

9.5 inches long.

Don't use those crappy plastic clips - get some nice SS radiator hose clamps....
