That looks like it was a cheap "survival knife" handle

I have a Promariner-two of them actually-which I haven't installed as I'm not sure I need to yet. Why do you think that yours is bad? They're pretty simple devices and can be tested easily.

In my 1995 290 mine is located behind the shore power panel screwed to the sidewall.

I have a 1995 290 and had the same "tiny" hole in the same location. I managed to snake both a cable for radar to the arch and coax from a new VHF antenna back down through the same hole. It took a LOT of effort-even with lubing the cables-to get them through alongside the factory navy and arch...

I was there two years ago. The weather was perfect and the bay was PACKED. It was an interesting time...

Hmmm...I see you timed the weather, and impromptu stop-on blowoff day? Hmmmm? :)

Before condemning the entire hose use a GOOD flare nut wrench (7/16?) and try to tighten that fitting. I would back it off a hair before re tightening. From the picture it like it's leaking where it seals on the outdrive flare. You always have the option to replace he hose which is more...

I bought this boat as I could not pass up the deal! I figured even if the boat was complete junk-it wasn't- that the trailer alone would be worth somewhere n'ear the purchase price. The prior original owner simply had enough of large repair bills even if caused more by lack of use than...

Yes, then I would manually choke it in the interim. The service manual is available online as a free download somewhere.

If you knew what the rest of my life has devolved into... Even this win doesn't offset...

I'm not sure what a Kohler SM is but, if it currently runs now with the choke the way it is then yes, you can manually choke it to start it. The only issue you might have is the pull off. That rubber hose on the housing connects to a pull off piston which might be frozen in its' bore. If...
