Re: [OMC-Boats] outdrive cooling question

The hose fittings were a user/dealer installed option. They replace one
of the pivot caps.

Once in awhile they show up on eBay usually as NOS (new old stock) as
they have made any in years.

If you have any marine salvage/junk yards nearby it's fairly easy to
stumble across one.

i will check, but i'm thinking my boat doesn't have one. is retro-
fitting one a big ordeal? i am serious due for a test start of my
engine, which means hauling to the ramp. would be nice to just hook
up a hose instead.
