Could anyone tell me what the three hoses jumpering around the powerhead are on a 50hp merc. I found that one was broke. Boat performs fairly bad, so Im wondering if this was the cause.<br /><br />Thanks

Re: powerhead hoses

If you're talking about the little 1/8" (+-) clear plastic hoses, those are the recirculating hoses and yes, if you've got a broken one, it'll make the engine run bad.<br /><br />c/6<br />Hooty
