Late '80's Mercury 100 oil tank line

Hi folks, total newbie here and first post. Great forum, love the restoration section. Anyway I'm looking at a boat/engine and found this broken oil line.

Any advise? Thanks

Does this line supply pressurized oil to the engine or is it a vent or.....Any ideas?

i think it is just a vent line.replace it with the proper hose.
