Make sure its immersed deeply enough to cover the water pump. So long as the gearcase unit is completely covered and the water comes part way up the extension it should be OK, or is about 20" below the top of the what you have it clamped on.

Look at the parts diagrams at "http://epc.brp.com/default.aspx?brands=ej&lang=e"
The telltale is parts #24 and #49 on the cylinder and crankcase diagram
The telltale outlet is under the lower part of the cover on the LHS as you look at it, part #47 in the engine cover diagram (I think )
