Thanks for the info.
So some water spiting out is normal ?

I do like the double baffle idea. I am thinking that tighting the top hose clamp down around the cable would slow it down, but also would cause wear at the top and possibly bottom if it were to pull or push on the hose when swinging the ...

windwalker,
Have you thought about cuttting it here and having it welded when you get it, I think Dale said you only need about a foot or so. I live near Dale and have bought some of his parts. I would think welding and cleaning the repair up can't be over 100.00 bucks ? just a thought.

Hello all, long time reader here, first time posting.
I have a 1978 C 26 we got her about a year a go.
over all it was in good shape, lots of barnys and outboard on last leg.
so as it goes off to the yamaha dealer I went to pick up a new 9.9 high thrust long shaft, mouted it up and quickly found ...
