need help identifying cooling hoses
Hi guy's i'm trying to find a couple cooling hoses off a 420/425 hp, the numbers on the hoses are 8L10CL and 8K04AL. These come off of the trans cooler on the lower starboard side of the engine up to the oil cooler on the top backside of the engine, then down to the lower port side of the engine. really appreciate any help.

USA-1 Yes, The diagrams I have seen all look like the set up that I had on my old boat which had the trans cooler on the lower starboard side and oil cooler on the lower port side with the hose looping around the bottom of the engine. my oil cooler is mounted on the top back of the engine to the bell housing bolts.

If you click on the part numbers, the actual hose is shown.
Your 1st pic doesn't look familiar. I recall my hoses also having the non/merc like numbers you posted. Merc parts usually have 2 digits then a series.Possibly they are Gates number?

I'm betting that Merc will probably want big bucks for these hoses, especially if they are specific to the HP500. Any chance you could just take your old hoses in to the local NAPA and try to match them up to some automotive molded hoses? That's what i had to do on mine when I changed the oil cooler location.
