Broken water line

[LAndrus]

Removed lower unit today to replace water pump on 86 Force 50 HP. Discovered that the copper line that extends from water pump into motor leg is broken. Two questions, 1. How hard is it to replace said water line, and 2, does anyone know where one can be found?

Thanks

Come to think about it, how hard would it be to make a new one from 1/2 in copper?
