IMPORTANT: Route hoses to determine the minimum length of hose needed, then trim the excess

IMPORTANT: The hose must not come in contact with steering system components, the engine
coupler, the U‑joint shaft, or the driveshaft.
2. Fasten the quick connect between the engine portion and the transom portion of the gear lube
monitor hose.
