Great, If I don't find an available port on the t-housing I'll put in the T at the water-alarm-sending unit port and hook up that way, per manual figure 10-14. Still confused as to why the mechanic, who did the short block exchange, didn't transfer all this over with these connections. He had to do extra work to eliminate these connections and then come back to make those ridiculous manifold connections. Been through at least 7 mechanics here on Pompano Beach over the 20 years owning this boat and have yet to find a good and reliable one.

Thanks everyone for all your help.

Amen! It is not going to be long before the good & reliable mechanics are going to follow the dinosaurs. Most of them are in their late 50's & 60's, and ready to hang it up from stress. Then there is the group with failing knees, hips, and arthritic joints. I have been lucky with having 2 really good guys over the past 30 years, but that will come to an end in the next couple seasons. Our power packages on older boats present a challenge to the new generations that can't plug in a computer to figure out what is really going on. I will stop my whining now. 8-) er
