Hey guys. Have a question about my Yamaha 90 hp outboard (F90LA manufactured 1/12).

I was getting ready to winterize the engine when I noticed what appears to be a hose that runs to the lower unit cracked in half. I’m going to try to upload a picture I took of it. I was just hoping you guys could help me identify what exactly it is. Thanks in advance!

If the pick up is not stopped up there will be water coming up and out of that tube, but not much
