I have a Gen 6 300hp 454 and can not find the hose that goes from the Raw water pump to the Oil cooler (on the front port side of the motor). All the micro fiche I have looked at has a power steering cooler in there. I do not need the power steering cooler as the other engine has that. Do I have to put the cooler in there anyhow? Or do they make a hose that bypasses the cooler and goes to the oil cooler directly? I would rather do that so that there is no chance of the cooler failing if you know what I mean.

Hey Jon, That should just be 1 1/4" hose. I just went to BoatUS and bought myself some hose and cut it to length. You can do the same unless you want it all precut and more expensive.

Wally I could do that with my older Mark 4 motors but the new Gen 6 ones need the molded hose
So I have to find the correct one. Thanks

I have a Mrk4 hose that goes from the cooler to the water pump. If you can tell if it's the same it's yours. Fair trade for a IMCO PS bracket?
