first picture shows the crimped hose itself and the second picture shows where it is connected to the foot of the motor
Looks like a vent hose

you could be right John but only thing is that its crimped off so I dont think it would be venting, do know just my thoughtsQuote:

Thanks Wilbur
Do you have a water pressure guage? If so its disconnected. If not....then you can do away with that hose.....take the elbow out and screw a plug in in its place. That is not the speedometer hose I don't think as the ones I have seen are internal inside the leg of the engine. It looks like the water pressure line to me.
dont have a water pressure gauge on the boat GQuote:

Are you doubting me G?
I will leave it alone, ifn it aint broke, dont fool with it :) just wasnt sure what it was :)
That motor might have been on another boat at one time.
Im sure it was ,seeing he doesnt have a speedo.
Here you go G check out #6 7 and 8

Your right, Thanks wilbur.....its internal from the elbow down to the port in the foot.........thats what I was thinking about I guess. Been awhile since I fooled with a Mercury.
Don't know your model and year. Maybe this may help!http://www.mercurypartsexpress.com/us/

Thanks guys for all the help, dont need a speedo with GPS so guess I will just leave well enough alone :)
I went to the service manual for your motor and read it twice, then I called Mercury and talked to two engineers and they gave me the number of the fella that invented 2 stroke outboards and I called him, but he had since been put in on of them retirement homes. So, I called the home and the nice nurse there relayed my message and what I found out was that that rubber hose is there in case of an emergency. If the owner asks too many questions, the mechanic is supposed to take it off and whoop him with it.
Pfffft... Go fishing already boy. :)

Water pickup tube for the speedo is correct. If ya remove the crimp or wire tie, and the hole in the foot isn't plugged up with whatever, you can use it for a squirt gun as run down the lake.

Speedo hose, Water Pressure comes out the top of block on a Mercury.
