    They are all open, otherwise you wouldn’t have access to align it when reinstalling...

    Really don't know why the rubber washer is on top of the coupling should be below it.

    Appreciate all the feedback. What is that black hose for? It was loose like that when I got the boat. I'll place it in the hole. But the bonding wire is still good. It's just looped behind right there

    The black hose comes from the speedometer pitot in the leading edge of the lower unit. It connects to a fitting on the shift shaft cover. If you don't use your boat speedo you really don't need to worry about it. As bassman mentioned, the rubber washer on top of the coupler should be below it on the shift shaft.

    Somebody didn't know what they were doing when they took that lower unit off for some service.
