I just noticed this disconnected hose coming from the lower unit. (see pic) I can't see anything that it would connect to. I have looked at diagrams and can't see a use for it. Anyone have any idea what it is for and where it goes?

That hose is for a speedometer, and can be tied back on itself if not used. Other wise a rubber tube connects to it and goes to the speedo in the consol with any other gauges.

Thanks for the reply. That explains it. There are no gauges, someone took them all off.
