1977 115HP 115TXL77S Water Tube Grommets

Hi all.

Pulled off the gearcase the other day to replace the impeller - first time I've personally done it.

Just a question on the water tube grommets involved - according the parts diagrams there are two water tube grommets - one is located in water pump body, part #314008 from the following link:

There is also another grommet which seems to fit on the end of the water pipe which is listed as part #305145 from the following link:

Mine did not have the second grommet present (on the end of the tube).

Just want to confirm the parts diagrams are correct, and I should have two grommets? Presumably if so, someone has done a lazy repair job at some point.

Much appreciated as always, and apologies if the links don't work, first time I've tried in this editor.

Nick.

The engines that have only one water tube use just one grommet. The picture diagram is simply showing the same grommet from a different perspective. Be sure to apply a slight bit off grease to the grommet after you set it into the water pump.

The grommet in the second diagram is for the upper part of the tube you just need the one for the water pump.
