Packless Shaft Water Pick-up

Broke my water pick-up for my packless shaft winterizing at the propeller shaft " fiberglass sleeve" just aft of the packless shaft.
It is a brass fitting/tube that "threaded" into the fiberglass sleeve and already had goo around the base from a previous repair.
Bright spot is the brass tube is almost completely plugged with corrosion so not much water was getting through.

Any idea how to fix? All the PYI packless shafts are using plastic pipe/tubes ?

Would PYI not send a new one if you asked? I have a LasDrop but I think even the PSS comes with a metal hose barb now. As I understand it, they tried to go cheap for a while.
