Recirculation Hose Fitting Problem

[george3819]

I was in the final stages of mounting a rebuilt 90 degree CV4 115hp Johnson Powerhead and as I was hooking up all the recirculation hoses to their appropriate fittings. I noticed the fitting on the top starboard side was cracked and bent I investigated further and it broke off. I looked in my manual and it said very little if any about said hoses or fittings. Is there anything I can do to fix it I still have the old powerhead with spare fittings. This is my first time to do a major project like this and I don't want to mess the rebuilt powerhead up.

George, if the fitting is in the bypass cover, just swap out the cover for one on the old powerhead. You are talking about the little brass nipples for the recirc lines aren't you?

OBJ I appreciate the suggestion, I will go check it out. Do you know if the powerhead needs these recirculating hoses to run properly
