First off I would like to say hello to all you great people here. I am a first timer so please bare with me. <br /><br />I just bought a used boat (1996 Imperial 210 21' w/ 5.7 motor) <br />On the outdrive in the rear I noticed a small rubbber hose ( kinda like a vacuum hose on a car) that was just hanging. Inside the tip was a broken off whitish piece of a nylon fitting. I looked where the hose was resting and sure enough there is a nylon fitting screwed into the lower portion of the outdrive that appears to have the tip broken off. <br /><br />Does anyone know what this fitting and hose are and also is this a common prob and or easy to fix? <br /><br />Thanks for any help.
