We have gas leaking from a hose inside the cowling of a 40 HP Mercury Bigfoot outboard motor. The hose comes out of the top of a silver box (don't know what it is for) then leads down to the bottom of the unit and out of the motor, into the lake. Seems like something may have broken off and fell out off the motor. This boat was in a fierce storm, and broke loose from the hoist. It may have struck something and broke off a piece from under the cowling. Attached are pictures. Any help would be appreciated. We asked a few local repairmen, but they were unfamiliar with this fuel injected model. Thanks. Gene
