Anyone ever seen something like this happen? It's on my power steering hoses, in a couple spots, just above the outdrives. There's nothing around the hoses that could hit them and cause this. My mechanic is replacing them, but he said they are a two-ply type of hose that the inner part was not punctured. There are no visible leaks so I agree with him, but I told him to replace them anyways. I don't need them busting while coming across the bay at night time. Just thought I'd see if anyone else has ever seen this happen.

I love how you've updated the bolsters and cockpit carpet...that adds value right there! Will be a quick sell for you I'm sure and you'll be back on your feet financially in no time with the coin that'll bring!:bunnydance:

Just saw this on ebay, seems like a steal of a deal if someone is looking for a 290!

Mike, was the oil milky when drained? If cracked for very long water could be drawn in as the drive cools. Look for corrosion on the internals. If you don't know how the crack happened be sure to check everything to make sure you're not just fixing a result instead of a cause.:poopoo:

There was no water in the oil at all.
When i was doing the oil change in the fall thats when i noticed the crack. I did take a chunk out of the skeg on my very first outing the first year and I had it repaired and put on stainless skeg protectors.
The welding shop told me that the lower was welded on before, probably from a previous incident.
Im not sure if i should weld it up or replace the housing.

This same issue happened to a boating buddy last year.
Best thing is as your doing, replace it and forget about it for a few years!

The seller should pay $600 to someone to come get it!

If it wasn't welded before, I'd say get it welded, but I wouldn't take the chance with welding it twice. I'd swap it out.
