mercruiser

Loose hose. I was working on my boat and noticed that I have a loose hose in the engine compartment. I think its the hose for the cooling water outlet or pressure relief. I have a Mercruiser 200 Optimax power unit. Can anybody tell me (or better yet show me) where this hose should be connected...

Hi- We are looking to sell our 96 Challenger and upgrade to a '01 16' Speedster with the Mercruiser M2 in it. Can you guys please give me some honest opinions of the boat? Also what are the known trouble spots? I am thinking it would be a plus to have the Merc over the Rotax, but please...
