Hello all; this is my first post on this forum, so please bear with me as I don't know all the proper terms for some parts.
The raw water intake from the o/d comes in thru the transom plate on the port side as a 1.5" hose nipple. Ahose is connected there, and runs fwd to the input of the pwr steering oil cooler. From the cooler, another hose (factory molded heavy wall) continues fwd to the raw water pump inlet.
At some time in the past, I had replaced the aft hose with some stock heavy wall, wire inbedded water hose. After that I installed a "T" in that hose for a neutra-salt feed. Now I want to install another "T" in the same hose for a engine flush input, but with that addition, the hose will no longer make the required bend necessary to connect to the rear nipple. so.
was this hose originally a factory molded one, like the front part? ( I've been to 3 different dealers, and this hose does not exsist in their parts books)
Is there another type of hose the will work in a suction enviroment, but is more flexible ??
