Just thought I'd share..............
Just hung a new motor on the boat. Went from a single Opti Rigging Hose, which is huge in diameter to dual hoses on a 300x. I had to find away to mount the smaller deck mount hose adapter over the huge Opti hole already in the deck. I made a couple of deck flanges and rubber gaskets to attach the smaller hose adapters over the huge hole. The biggest reason for the rubber gaskets (instead of silicone sealer) is that the deck area under the flanges toward the back has a slight radius in it, so the 3/16" thk. rubber compressed enough to provide a total seal.
