I have a Mercury MerCrusier & I put it into the water yesterday. Cranked it and ran it 30 minutes or so. When I came back today There was water insode the boat (alot). I put it onto boatramp to see where it woudl leak from and it is right at the back (outside) of the boat. Its where the prop trims. There are 3 flex hoses. 2 are large one is small with a cable running through it I think. That flex hose is cracked and letting water inside.

I knew last year something was up because when we were parked the bildge came on every 30 minutes or so. I,m sorta glad its not the hull but, this could mean I have to drop the foot...

What is the cable to? Thoughts?

Thanks
