Cane, Take a deep breath it will be ok. Been there done that. On the rusted through hose clamp? Did you have a survey? Did it mention the clamps and hoses? Now, when you go back to the boat if you have time check EVERY hose and clamp. I would change every one of them. Even if it was 2 or 3 every time you go to the boat. Clean the bilge now. It will save you time and effort as you check out the problems. It is possible the new bilge pump is defective. Check to see if it will turn on. The connections you took apart will need someone other than me to talk with you as I have never been in the engine room of a 90's 290. Believe it or not once you get your boat dialed in a lot of the suck goes away and the fun begins. Good luck CC. jc
