I took the Lower Unit off about 6 months ago to replace the water pump impeller - broke a bolt off trying to get the housing off - had that drilled out - and the LU sat on my patio for the past 5 months. I'm ready to put it back on but - there's 2 plastic pipes that slip over the water lines, I guess to align up with the rest of the engine.
I need new plastic pipe pieces. I can't find anything on the internet. Someone told me they came in the water pump kit, but looking at one on the net - they ain't in there.
Can you shed some light ? Thanks.

As long as your good at putting the copper tube into the hole in the dark there's really not much of a problem, just be careful . As merc's aren't virgin's

And that's as far as I'll go

What lower unit you got? If it's a merc I probably have a few spares.

I went to Grapevine Marine today and the people there just gave me 1. I'll see what I need to replace next, Thanks again.

It's a 69 Johnson 115 - Good old Electric shift model.
