Hi. '92 Mercruiser MCM 5.7L / Alpha 1 Gen 2 sterndrive (OD 648230). I was giving things the once over and noticed that all the metal crimps on the trim cylinder hoses on the drive have a crack running the length of the crimp. Is this normal or something to be concerned about? I'd rather do preventative maintenance than the alternative. Thanks for any input. Don S. on vacation or did he give up in disgust? Huge loss if he did. Gary
