I removed my lower unit to check the impeller. The water pipe came off with it. I've read that it's difficult to get it back in place, but I'm not sure where that place is. I read that I might have to take things apart and install it from above, but I can't find any sort of instructions or pics or videos online.
I'm prepared to do either method, but I'm driving blind, I'm not sure how things come apart and I'm afraid of breaking things. I removed the plate that the shift rod and water pipe pass through, and already broke 1 of the 3 screws holding that on.
I'm mechanically inclined enough to do motor installs and suspension swaps on cars, but haven't messed with an old outboard like this before.
