That motor has the water pumps at the normal level, right? Around the level of the top of the gear case, NOT high under the power head?

I noticed that on my 9 hp, there is a water tube that goes up into the mid section, as you install the lower unit, that doesn’t seem to have a provision for any kind of grommet. It just seemed to go into aluminum. I was wondering how that was going to seal. I put some perfect seal on it when I put it together. I wonder if this joint is the source of some of your water woes? By the way, it was a good time putting that lower unit back on, wasn’t it? Said no one.

Long live American manufacturing!
