02 200hp Merc- Someone has to know

[DBVentura]

Ok. I have a small diameter gray tube coming from the lower rear section of the powerhead to the front of the engine. It is wire tied in place and goes no where. When I started the motor for the 1st time this year I noticed water pissing out of it, it looks like it used to go somewhere but visually I canoot
find out.

If water is shooting out of it, it probably used to be connected to a water pressure gauge at the console and this tube was cut for an unknown reason, maybe an outboard or powerhead swap.

I think you hit on the head w/ your answer on the pressure gauge line. Follow it back up and see what it is connected to. Then plug .

Thanks guys. I'm going to plug it. By the way the end looks it was connected
to something sometime.
