What is This ????

[gmcowner]

This is a pic I took of a hose that I noticed yesterday on my 08' Suzuki DF90. I have no clue what it goes to and I hope is not a serious issue. It appears that it got pinched numerouse time I suppose from raising and lowering the motor. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

So then I assume its no big deal if i cut it off then. Have GPS for speed so not really that concerned with it if it won't harm anything. Also how hard is it to replace?

Its not a big deal dont even worry about it. Like you said, use your gps for speed measurements. It very simple to replace. Just unbolt the lower unit and you should see a little nipple, hook up the new hose in and you're good to go.

I suggest plugging the cut end and wrapping a zip tie around it. Otherwise, there may be a bit of water shoot up out of the end.

I just re-routed mine away from "pinch" areas and had to add a new piece to reach around the longer route.
