I know there are no such things as dumb questions, but I have a dumb question I think.

Where is the water inlet for the motor?

I am not quite sure exactly.

Sorry.

Any pics from a manual would be awesome.

Thanks
Chris

Okay above the prop like on the tail there is a little vertical screen, is that the inlet? And if it is does that mean it is force feed by the prop?
Also does that mean I can't put ear muffs on it?
If I run it in a 55 gallon drum does the prop have to be on a running to get circulation?

Sorry for the newbie questions

Profile? Location?
That's the pick up.It's not force fed.
It's there so it's in the direction of the water.
It picks up with the help from the impeller.
The motor doesn't need to be in gear just running.
They used to make an adapter to flush but I haven't seen one advertised in years.They didn't work that well anyway.
Big bucket or drum.55 gal is best so you can put in gear.

Check the info (at the link below) and the inlet screen is not seen but will be above the water pump’s impeller above the lower unit. Related searches will usually help if you h/n obtained a manual with basics. jow
