I feel for yah’ … I had the same frustrating issue with my 1961 75 HP Evenrude. Mine has two tubes that go into the pump housing. does yours also? The best plan is to have the tubes already installed up inside the tower, that way there is a better chance of seeing the fit-up to the pump. Also be sure that the tube ends going into the pump are burr free so as not to snag on the gromet, a little grease helps too. And the last 1/2 ‘ inch is usually a harder push as the tubes go home in the rubber grommet or O rings. Have a couple of longer bolts handy to rest the unit on as you move it up into place. And a BIG help is another set of hands.
