Wrong hose?

[Bignev2]

Hey,

Bit confused whether the previous owner has used the wrong hose on the thermostat to circulation pump or he has taken the additional joiner and hose off ? seems to be slightly kinked my engine is a 5.0 tks serial: 0l023213 .

When I use mercruiser parts with my engine serial the cloesf hose seems to be on the other side of the thermostat and has a joiner with a secondary short Hose (32-861590A05) but the part number 32-87108 shown on my current hose comes up with a fuel hose?... confused.

Just replaced the water circ pump, idler ,power steering pump pulley ( upgraded metal pulley) and belt so noticed it.

Photos attached Thanks guys

The hose looks like it might have another 1/4" to go onto the recirculating pump fitting, which may help. Otherwise it looks OK . . . not perfect, but OK.

Yeah looking at it think your right, I'll loosen the clamp and try push it on a bit more. Only thing that has me confused is mercruiser parts refer to this other hose 32-861590A05 I think its the one in the pic i have attached.

Well If I google mercruisers part it shows some hoses with an elbow a drain plug attached the photo. This is why I'm confused the hoses seem to include these joiners and the extra hose.

Ayuh,...... If you winterize dry, like I do,.....
That hose with a plug in it, will negate havin' to pull that hose off the water pump,....

I'm in Perth Western Australia no need to winterize here doesn't get cold enough. Good to know though, thanks for the info.

I added a section with a plug to my existing hose. Much easier to drain the engine now. l hated wrestling with that hose.

That probably isn't the merc part number that's printed on your hose

The original 87108 was just a molded hose, eventually there was a drain plug added and the part numbers superceded a few times over the years.
