Replace the hose. With any kind of repair, the rest of the hose is now your weakest link. On second thought, replace them both. All of those electrical connections look severely corroded an should be addressed asap. They could not only cause a very unpleasant day, but if left to corroded enough they could ruin the associated/connected parts. Also the available stainless steel pump assembly bracket is an excellent update/upgrade.Is there a way to mend it?
Thanks, I notice the corrosion in the picture tooReplace the hose. With any kind of repair, the rest of the hose is now your weakest link. On second thought, replace them both.

Pretty sure Those terminate in the transom assembly into the manifold? Problem will be access, I think these thread in but getting a wrench in there will be tough.
Parts 1 and 2 if it’s an alpha

Straight 30 or 10W30 is just fine for this system.I replaced the lines to the pump and the 4 on the outfdrive. The fluid is milky. What's the best way to remove fluid and what should I use to fill it?
Good idea. I've never tried that. Is that noticeably better/quicker?Take the rams off the TA and put them in a vertical position otherwise a bitch to bleed.
Nice. Making a mental note of that.World of difference
Looks like there are short radius and a larger radius version of the trim pump lines. Which did you use on your boat?I replaced the lines to the pump and the 4 on the outfdrive. The fluid is milky. What's the best way to remove fluid and what should I use to fill it?
