I pulled the motor from my Amberjack. While doing so, I noticed that the inlet water pick up hose comes out of a 90 degree connector from the transom. The hose then bends around the engine and goes to the raw water pump. I examined the hose and where it bends looks like a restriction. Like when you kink a hose. My though is placing a 90 degree fitting where the hose kinks to allow the unrestricted flow of water. Has anyone else noticed this? and doe this sound like a good idea.
