'61 Merc 60 6hp Water Tube

[bjarnold1]

I removed the lower unit to replace the impeller and there is a black piece of either plastic or hard rubber that was stuck on the motor end of the water tube. It is cracked and not usable. Is it supposed to be there?

There should be a rubber grommet on the top of the tube, item #7. http://www.mercruiserparts.com/Show...86&bnbr=20&bdesc=DRIVE+SHAFT+HOUSING+ASSEMBLY
