DT85 water pump

[monark1800]

I replaced water pump after not having water out of pee tube.
Now I have high pressure water spraying out of joint between LU and leg. I assume water yube is not lining up, but since it is mounted solid what do i do?
Are there and grommets that may have fallen out that i forgot about?

Better drop your lower unit to inspect that water tube and grommets to be sure they're in place....should be a grommet at the top of water tube and another at the top of the water pump body. A dab of grease can help everything go back together easily and correctly.

There is the rubber piece that hold the bottom of the water tube. Nothing on top of water pump housing.
I ordered a water tube and water pump case grommet. Hopefully that is what I need.
Is the water tube extremely difficult to replace, i cant find it in the manual.

You need to pull it back apart and look to see if you missed lining tube to water pump.
You should not need a new tube unless you forced it together and bent tube or the tube it split.

To replace tube and top grommet I think you need to pull the power head

Both tube and housing are immovable. It seems like it cant help but line up.
If it doesnt how do you make it line up.

As it is going together you need to make sure drive shaft, tube, and shift shaft are lined up properly, may need another set of hands and eyes, the tube can be moved around a little

Best to have the motor tilted while putting back together if you were not doing it that way

Is there a seal on drive shaft?
