Can't remember if I told you guys this one or not?? When I was struggling to get a boat ride a couple of weeks ago and nothing was working, one of the problems I ran into was with the merc on my Stream. I had just rec'd. a used lower unit I had bought and went to install it when I realized I did'nt have the water supply tube that runs from the pump to the bottom of the power head. Was already suicidal over everything else that had gone wrong and figured that was it for the (Sat. afternoon) weekend. Anyhow, after 97 Bud Lights I went down in the basement of my house and measuerded the plumbing water supply lines. Guess what??? 1/2" copper is the exact same O.D. as the I.D. of the pump outlet! To top it off I had tubing benders and planned to "custom fit" it. It was straight! $2.50 at the local hardware for a 8' stick and cut to length and I was done! Someone may know a reason this should'nt be done but it worked perfect for me. See Yah, Instigator
