I've got a small rubber hose that appears from the front of the lower unit, loops around and is zip tied down to a bolt. It's got a hard plastic plug in the end. Anyone know what this is for?

Mine also has that hose which is plugged off, I have a seperate speed censor.Is it ok to keep it plugged or should it breath? Sorry Ampersat , didn't mean to hijack but the answer might help both of us
I would guess it's fine to leave it plugged. I'll need to look at mine when I get home but I assume that there's simply a water inlet on the front of the lower unit that directs flow into the hose and the gauge measures via water pressure.

Yeah, pitot tube... you better keep it plugged (unless you connect it to a gauge) or else you'll be flowing water all over the place.
