[QUOTE="LaTexan, post: 330491, member: 11926"] I recently replaced the impeller and supply tube seal at the bottom of the supply tube on my 1986 Mercury 20 hp outboard. Since mounting the foot back onto the lower unit I am not getting any water to pump. I dropped the foot again and noticed the supply tube is not holding on the top end. Is there another rubber bushing/seal at the top end and if so, how complicated is this to change? Previously the tube would stay in the lower unit and disconnect at the rubber seal on the top of the water pump housing. I'm assuming because it is not sealing at the top end I'm unable to draw the water to the top end and push it through the block as it should. [/QUOTE]
