Serial Number Fitment Notice
Verify fitment by engine serial number before ordering. MerCruiser cooling hoses can vary by engine model, cooling-system layout, thermostat housing, exhaust manifold style, and production range.
When This Part Needs Replacement
Replace this hose if it is cracked, swollen, soft, leaking, kinked, heat-damaged, or hardened from age. It should also be inspected during thermostat, manifold, riser, and cooling-system service.
Installation Notes
Install on the port side between the thermostat cover and port manifold. Inspect the hose clamps, thermostat cover outlet, manifold fitting, and sealing surfaces before installation. Replace worn clamps and confirm the hose is routed without kinks or contact with sharp/hot surfaces.

Parts Desk Insight
Cooling hoses are best matched by both part number and hose location. On MerCruiser V-engine setups, port and starboard hoses can look similar but may have different bends, so confirming the side and connection points helps avoid ordering the wrong hose.
