Lube Hose Bravo 3

[gssixgun]

Ok gents some ideas here

Having the boat gone through and winterized

2000 Maxum 2400SCR 5.7L Bravo 3 outdrive

Mechanic found that the Lube hose to the outdrive was cracking and leaking, no big deal

BUT

The Through-hull fitting was also cracked and leaking

He says the the old screw through fitting is no longer available and that we actually have to lift the engine out to put in a new style fitting

Any ideas ????
