It appears the have re-designed this hose.

Has anyone installed one of these? Just curious how well it went in, can it be done with the motor in?
I installed new ones (old style) when I rebuilt my transom assemblies, but one looks like the SB side is collapsing causing low water pressure and higher than normal temp. I can't remember if they were OEM MerCruiser or aftermarket. (lesson learned if not) I'll have to pull them apart to replace.

PS... shout out to Jeff32, I found a thread from 2007 where he had a similar problem with the hose collapsing that lead me to look under the drives with a flashlight.

Reminds me of the BMW cooland hose attachment system. Never had one fail...with ultra high coolant temps they run...but would still prefer the hose/barb with 2 clamp system.

BMW water Pump.

used that kit a couple of times, works great

Does the hose fitting clip on?

are you asking about the hose inside the boat? mine glamped on,

Does that flange go on the "wet" side of the gimbal housing and squeeze the rubber bushing to tighten it into the space creating a waterproof seal?

I'm trying to figure out what holds the plastic pipe in the gimbal housing and seals it.

Duh, the next product picture on the website was the instructions. I guess it's just pressed in??

Shah,

I did this on my drive assembly last winter, during my engine rebuild. It all went well enough, but I seem to remember getting the hose through the hole in the transom plate was a significant PITA, and you'll need a tool to tighten up the "nut" that holds the hose in place.

Thanks. Brad.

yes, need special tool
