  • Crankcase Hosebarb Fitting Question -J175EXEUC

    In the process of rebuilding the powerhead on my 1997 - 175 HP Ocean Runner I discovered a 1/8" hose barb fitting that I don't believe had a hose attached when I disassembled the engine.. It's located adjacent to the rectifier/regulator starboard side of the engine block and goes directly into the water coolant cavity. Can someone explain this fitting. Thanks and have a Happy New Year.

    Accessory water pressure gauge? Regardless, it either needs to have a hose on it to serve some purpose, or it needs to be securely capped.

      I believe I will find another hose barb. After noting the location I'm sure it provides extra cooling for the rectifier..thanks
