Description
The Suzuki OEM Water Inspection Tube 52117-97L01 is a genuine Suzuki component located in the drive shaft housing. This tube directs cooling water to the water inspection (tell-tale) outlet, allowing operators to visually confirm proper water pump operation and cooling system performance.
If this tube becomes clogged, damaged, or missing, the tell-tale stream may be weak or absent even if the water pump is functioning properly.
This is a direct OEM replacement designed specifically for Suzuki 4HP and 6HP outboard engines.
