Hi everyone, ok so I’m still trying to get my lower unit installed to no avail, my friend swears that the copper water tube should not be removable or movable and that’s why the lower unit won’t go all the way flush. I can grab the water tube and pull it completely out. Should I be able to do this? Or is the water tube or mount broken?

The water tube should be inserted in the water pocket cover in the upper housing. The tube can move since it is in a rubber grommet. The plastic tube in the water pump cover is the guide. You did not say which year or model you have or a picture would help.
