Re: Found plastic tubes in water outlet
The real question is are they white color or black color? The description actually sounds to me like they are the black color plastic baffle tubes that are suppose to recess in two holes at the rear port and starboard corners in the midsection directly under the powerhead adapter plate/exhaust riser.<br /> In other words, at some time in the past, a sloppy mechanic has had the powerhead off of this motor. During the process, he knocked the tubes lose and they fell down in the midsection. (They cannot fall down there without the powerhead being off.) He then reinstalled the powerhead without ever dropping the lower unit or checking the water pump, etc. and was oblivious to the fact that they were missing when he installed the powerhead. <br /> You will have to remove the powerhead to reinstall them. They are suppose to have metal retention clips with them. Are those intact?
