I've been working (slowly) on taking apart the gearcase. I've read on various posts the it wouldn't come apart easily, but when I took out the 4 bolts the whole lower gearcase about fell on the ground from how easily it came out. Since it came out without me expecting it to, I didnt get to see how the hose was connected (or if it was even connected at all).
So my question is, how is the water tube connected? Mine has a slight angle to it like it was either dry rotted or was ruptured by the look of the edges. But when I look at the diagram http://www.marineengine.com/parts/johnson-evinrude-parts.php?year=1971&hp=4&model=4136D&manufacturer=Evinrude§ion=Exhaust+Housing it looks like the tube is slightly angled. So if it is slightly angled, does it just fit in the top of the water pump or is there suppose to be some type of fastener to keep it secured in there? Or is it my initial thought of the tube being damaged?
Thanks.
