  Did you take a look at the image in my post to identify which fitting is broken.. I could look it up in my Mercruiser service manual for bravo 111 to see how to replace it

  I left it in another 3 weeks just ran around the canal on other motor but never started the port drive so hopefully all is good . It's to tight for me in my engine compartment,

  Oh ReneeChris!  Every time I see that picture I cringe!

  Bella, yes you have to remove it from inside, and definitely very tight and tough to get to.

  I just had my full drive service done (bellows, shift cable, etc) and they replaced the gear lube hoses from the tank to the drives while they had the drives off. I think the drives need to come off.

  @Dream_Inn have no fear those drives are all rebuilt,the ugly one all though the parts washer and all was still in good shape.the good one needed a lower baring gald he talk me in to doing both.I was going only do the port, they have 300 hours on them.
  
  @bella-vita the drive and the bell housing must  come off to access the tube.the tube slides in from outside and the clip on the inside.
