I recently got this motor and replaced the water pump. Once I put it all back together no water pumped out. My question is where does the copper tube suppose to go? Is this a hole it slides in?
Does exhaust come out the pisser? I had a 35 that did not pump water and exhaust was coming out of the pisser and it turned out to be a corrosion hole in the exhaust water jacket, the internal one

When I pulled the lower unit the hole copper pipe came out also. The copper pipe was connected to the housing on the water pump. Hopefully this helps out
You may need to remove the powerhead to fix this as exhaust gas will push in any gaps if its shoved back up there and doesnt seat totally.
You could try coating it in a gasket goo and pushing it back up in there. Tightening the gearbox might get it pushed up the correct distance
photograph/label everything so you know where it goes for reinstall.
post photos if you a unsure.
Then take off everything that joins the powerhead to the base.
Then undo the bolts that point upwards holding the powerhead to base, they are under the lower cowling cover, they may need heat if seized in there.
Keep the gearbox off.
