Removal

Installation

Remove the old water hose per the appropriate service manual and 
clean all orifices and surfaces thoroughly. Retain the water inlet housing 
screws for reuse on the new water inlet housing.

1.

Place the rubber bushing into the gimbal housing.

Install the bushing retaining tool, supplied with the kit, to hold the bushing
in place during the insertion of the water tube.

Turn the 25.4 cm (1 in.) screws 1-2 turns maximum. This places the retain-
ing tool at the appropriate location to act as a support for the bushing when 
inserting the tube from the aft inside of the gimbal housing. If the fasteners 
are turned in further than two turns, the insertion force will increase signifi-
cantly. (See Fig. 1)

Coat the plastic end of the hose assembly with a good amount of soapy 
water (liquid dish soap and water) to aid in assembly.

With the rubber bushing placed in the housing and held in place by the 
bushing retaining tool, insert the plastic end of the hose assembly. Push 
firmly until the rib on the water hose seats in the recessed area of the 
rubber bushing (See Fig. 2). Proper insertion of the water hose rib into the 
recessed area of the bushing will be evidenced by the water hose end and 
the retaining tool surface being flush with each other. (See Fig. 3)

With the retaining tool in place, tighten the screws to insert the bushing to 
its properly seated position. Tighten the screws to the specified torque.

Remove the bushing retainer tool from the gimbal housing.

Verify that the water hose and the rubber bushing have been installed 
correctly (See Fig. 4). The plastic portion of the water hose should protrude 
approximately 6 mm (0.25 in.) beyond the rubber bushing. (See Fig. 5)

Remove the paper backing from the inlet gasket and adhere the gasket to 
the water inlet housing.

Install the water inlet housing to the gimbal housing, as shown (See Fig. 6). 
Tighten the fasteners to the specified torque.

Complete the rest of the assembly according to the appropriate marine 
service manual.
