hose came loose on bravo drive. what is it?
I was cleaning the boat last night and noticed a small hose with a plastic fitting on the bottom hanging there. I looks at the other drive and the plastic thing snaps in in the middle of the drive at the back side. I popped it back in. is this anything to be concerned about?

Yes, sounds like speedo tube. Often gets torn off when a drive is removed. It goes in a hole on top of the cavitation plate at the front of the drive wiggle it around until it goes all the way in then about a 1/2 turn clockwise to lock it. Sometimes when these tubes get loose, the drive cuts them when it is lowered all the way, you can patch them with a vacuum tube connector and two small tie-wraps.
