Mercury Water Tube

[Glastron1987]

Any difference between regular 1/2" copper tubing from home depot and oem water tube? I can't see any difference looking at both together.

This would be for 1994 Mercury 2.0L 150.

I think it's the 280 style large water tune that's "special."

Thanks, I do happen to have an extra. Just that I already installed the home depot version not realizing that I did, but haven't bolted everything up so I can change it out if needed.

running in salt? If not I'd probably wait until next time the lower is coming off anyway...

Mostly fresh. Should be easy to switch it out now though. No plate over it yet.

I see this thread is from a few months ago, I need the big water tube for my 260 adapter plate. Any one have a part number on one of the force tubes? Or have one they’d let go for cheap?

Old 3.4 tube is same also...... How long ya need and Where is Rutland? NJ?

Ma. So is this along the lines your talking about? And I can just cut it down to fit my 15” mid?
