When draining my blocks, I found strange hoses connected to the left side of the block where the drain plugs are supose to be. These hoses ran to the back of the bilge in the wire buldles and ran up toward the cockpit and then I lost track of them. Does any body know why these hoses are connected to the block and where they run to? The size of the hoses are 1/2 inch. I think somewhere water goes down these hoses and runs into the block drain plug. Is it some sort of fresh water flush or drain? This is on a Cig Bullet 88 with 420 HP's There are separte hoses atttached to the left side of each engines block drain plug hole????? My mechanic is stumped???

Water pressure hoses going to your water pressuer guages?

Thanks Bob, but no. They go right into the left side of the engine block where the drain plug goes. Its strange.

That would be my first thought too.

Water pressure would be my guess.
Do you have water pressure gauges ?

L.S.

No, I don't have water pressure gauges. But would that be the correct place to attach the water pressure sender. Also, there is no sender just a hose connection.

The drain area would be fine for water pressure, and old style mechanical guages used a hose and not a sender, my guess would be water pressure also.

Ok, Majority rules. I guess I will go with water pressure. Its strange may mechanic didn't know. Thanks for your help.

Pull your gauge cover they might end up there and just be plugged if you don't have the gauges.

Those are for the waterpressure ! GL is propably right they plugged them off some where.
