aAlpha One- Water tube.

[Kim1349]

Without replacing bellows, we want to replace the water tube.
From the book it looks like it can be removed on the front by taking out two bolts inside the transom aft of the motor, correct?

Is the length shipped from Sierra the correct length or does it need cut? If it needs cut to what length?

Comments or suggestions on replacement?

Thanks

Sparks

Re: aAlpha One- Water tube.

and how would you remove the clamp from the inlet tube let alone re-install the hose?
housing and bellows need to be removed

Ok, the book looked like you disconnected the engine side inside with two bolts and then pushed the tube through. So does the new tube come the right length??

The tube is almost never replaced, only the hose. You do have the manual from the Adults Only section, right?
