Hey guys maybe someone can shed light on the demonic hoses that go from the trim pump to the transom. This is a TSK SX-M unit. The old hoses had cracked the metal crimp sleeve and i decided to replace them. I managed to get the old ones off by cutting the steel tube with a fence cutter tool. Removing was easy as i used a deep socket, no problem. The issue is making them tight as i had to remove the inner transom plate and steering cylinder and still i cannot get any tool to fully tighten the hoses. I can get both started and half way but not fully tighten. I used a crows foot, wrench and even flare nut wrench ....still not all the way in. Any ideas before you see me on the news lighting a boat on fire in Miami.
