The trim hoses are 2 differant sizes and each has a fitting on the end with a funny bend in it to get aroud the pivit point on the cyls. you can ck pictures out in the sierra part list here on iboats. The hoses run from the cyls. thru a hull fitting to the pump thats mounted in the boat

I just took mine out. I took off my 1979 140hp Merc, filled the holes in the transom, installed the mid section from a 1985 90hp Merc and installed my 140 powerhead on top of it. So I have a set of hoses if you want, send me an e-mail.<br /><br />Any idea of what I can put over the hole that the hoses used to come through???<br /><br />Craig

79merc, we use 1/8" aluminum, make a plate to cover the hole with a screw in each corner and some sealant
