new to me boat. 2002 225 hp optimax. Smartcraft gauge started beeping. With the alarm, oil, and engine icons. We immediately put oil into the reservoir. The alarm kept beeping. A very long solid beep followed by three more beeps i think. We docked the boat and let it sit for a while and cool...
When putting my carb back on. I noticed the clutch rod is no longer engaged. I cant fit my fingers down there to get it back in. Do i have to remove the oil pump to get it back on. And if so will i need a new gasket if i remove it. There is a gasket on the parts diagram.

I have a 96 suzuki dt40. Im replacing the water pump. And theres a tube thing above the water pump housing that is in bad shape. Is it really necessary to have or replace it. I looked up the part on brownspoint.com and it says the part is obsolete? Whats the deal with this?
