2006 90 HP...what's this part?

[Larry302]

See circled on the pic. This part is corroded and I need to replace it but I can't find it shown on any parts diagram. Knowing what this is called would probably help me find a replacement on the web somewhere. Thanks for any help!

Hi,
I don't know.

But if it has a hose connected to the bottom ofthat "cap", it looks suspiciously like the flush valve assembly.
See item 1 in the link.

Although, I certainly agree the parts page depiction doesn't look much like what's in your photo.

Finding the other end of the hose will verify if that's the case.

So, just a guess.

Good luck

Yes! That's it! I should have been able to figure that out myself, sorry. Didn't even think to follow the hose down to where it was going, rookie mistake

Thanks again, especially for providing the link.

Don't be sorry....we ALL need help at some point!

Heck, I pretty much live in a state of confusion
