75, mercruiser 1 drive.
i've replaced my water hose going between the bellhouseing and the gimble houseing once before. the replacement got a kink in it the first season.
all i want to do is see the spec of the length of the hose in writing in a service manual. i can't find it. i use sm #2. looked in #1 and #6 too. to no avail. is there a spec?
doing the google, i've seen 14 1/4'' to 13 7/8''..... to top it off. the original hose on my boat is 13 1/2''. i kept the original one i removed. granted it could be the wrong lenght too, but it wasn't kinked..... my guess is best info i could find was that 13 7/8'' was the ticket. but that ended up with the kink. the kinked hose is 13 3/4''. i guess i decided to split the difference. i also contribute the kink to not being able to get the hose all the way onto the bellhouseing nipple. i just want to start with the correct length hose. i can't believe the sm don't seem to specify it.... any one got a page number?
