But if you don't plan to replace it, or can wait until the off season, it would be easier to just get a short section of hose and connect them at the engine. It's much easier to work back there.
Thanks, that saves me a drive. Do you know where on the engine it is located? Like I said, brand new to this boat and I don't have a mechanic manual for it. What kind of connection is it off the engine, just a 5/8 barb?
