The thing I am holding in the first photo, is the end of a hose / cable lying loose in the bottom of my engine casing. It leads back to the bottom port side of my engine where it is attached to something - see last of 4 photos....
I need help identifying this. I had a recent power trim repair on an Alpha mercruiser stern drive, and soon after found this loose end of a cable or hose in the bottom of my engine casing. It connects to something on the lower engine block, port side, but I have no idea what it is. Anyone?
