Where does this hose connect?

[KentBoyle]

I'm embarrased to admit I have this problem - it should have been avoidable...<br /><br />Anyhow, I took my carburetors off my 1998 115 to rebuild them. I can't figure out where this hose goes coming from the block. I've attached a picture so you can see which one I'm talking about. Does this hook to one of the carbs? If so, where?<br /><br />Thanks in advance.<br /><br />P.S. - The hose coming out from underneath the second carb opening under the intake manifold.<br /><br />Kent<br /><br />

it SHOULD go to the carb covers, or airbox, what ever you wanna call it, look on the bottom just about where that hose comes out and you should see a small nipple, at least thats how it is on my 50 horse and it was on my old 85hp..<br /><br />good luck, let us know<br /><br />m ikey

Out of the 3 hoses I see there, the one in the middle goes to the air box. The other 2 are part of the recirculation system.
