"Hi,
I've never replaced the hoses on the 1989 OMC 4.3L Cobra I've owned for 2 years, and they're looking pretty shabby. By the looks of them, I've probably been dodging a bullet.
Any pointers on removing and replacing the hoses? I'm guessing that the process is:
1. Unscrew the metal tightener rings on the tube ends and remove them.
2. Bring all the tubes into the marine shop.
3. Buy new tubes and put them all back on.
What is going to come out of the tubes when they are taken off? Water? The tubes in question (if looking at the front of the engine.) are a big fat one on the left side, I think another fat one on the right, and then some other medium thickeness tubes above them. (for starters).
Any advice welcome.
Thanks,
Doug"
