I just need to see how the raw water pipe and hose are routed to the pump on a SBC powered 290 or SP drive. I've swapped the 280 for the 290. I've just can't see how the hose routes. The 290 was a AQ131. The pipe is the same but the hose looks like it would have to go up over the valve cover. The hose part number according to VP is 855373. Pardon my mess in still bouncing back and forth with glass and getting the engine up and running.

Get the correct molded hose. There is a 150 degree loop at the top of the hose, then the hose runs along the oil pan rail to the front of the engine and does a zig-zag between the belts and to the raw water pump.

Thanks sir,
Yeah I found the drawing on VP's site at least the part from the pipe off the transom plate to get the part number. I just couldn't figure how they ran that hose and being this is new to me I've never seen this setup installed in another boat. That new arrangement is not nearly as easy to navigate.

there is also a P-clip on the motor that holds the hose up near the oil filter.
