Re: broken water tube

If you're speaking of the copper water tube that goes from the water pump to the powerhead, the top of that tube is held in by an O ring, retaining washer, and locking ring (under the powerhead).

Unfortunately the lower unit must come off, remove the starboard (right) cowling pan, remove the entire engine assy from the port (left) cowling pan, then remove the powerhead. Now, you have access to the top of the water tube and can replace it.

This procedure is a PITA even for those of us that have performed that job many times. Best that you have a service manual, and a parts manual if need be before diving into that job.
 
you know what, that's what i was afraid of i don't know i i want to tackle this thing,
maybe a slegde hammer can fix it*better than i can,if i do i need to see if i can get parts for this thing,

None of Us started out knowing how to work on these motors. You just have to dive in
and get Your hands dirty.
That is a nice motor and well worth repairing. Just cruise craigs list and see the selling price
of them.
Good Luck with Your motor and possibly a new hobby!

and thanks to all,****
 
The water tube is held in place at the top by a " pushnut "------------------The powerhead / block has to be removed to do a proper job.
 
You've nothing to lose, you already have a new water tube. Take a bunch of pictures, make notes before you dismantle things, you can do it...... we got faith in ya.
