Hi all. I'm running into a problem with my water tube. I am trying to change my impeller and its the first time I've ever done it so it's going a little slow.
The problem I'm having is I don't know what to do with the water tube. When I dropped my lower unit, the water tube came out with it. It was pushed down into the rubber sleeve that goes in the impeller cover. I pulled the tube out and replaced the sleeve. So I just pushed the tube back into the new sleeve and raised the lower unit back up. The tube appears to just go up the hole, but it's a little floppy. Is this right?? Should the tube actually be pushed into something up in the upper unit first??
Also, one end of the tube has a little collar, like for an o-ring. The other end of the tube is just straight. Which end goes where? I can't find a parts pic of this thing anywhere.
Thanks in advance!!!
