I have a 2000 225 motor and I have replaced water pump kit before with help holding lower unit up while scewing in bolts. Today working alone used a floorjack and you guessed it, really messed up the copper water tube. It bent up in middle section and I messed it up even more trying to straightening it. I know I should of done it by hand and had it lined up and have been kicking myself black and blue. Need help on how to replace it. Can I remove middle section and replace tube ? Searched posts but couldn't find anything on it. I have repair manual but tube is not covered. Thanks for any help. Jim
