I have a 1972 TUFP-21C 225 HP OMC

can I use a Auto b-pass kit to provide water when testing the engine and o/d ??
I dont have the garden hose adapter on the o/d.

Click the drop down on the upper left - select stern drive. Yours is in the list - I matched up your engine number.

Re: Selectrim or fixed mount

Select Trim will have an electric motor and large jack screw at the front of the engine - on a Stringer you trim the entire engine, not just the drive (like you see on most Mercruisers). Select Trim was an option, so your boat may not have it - in which case it will be fixed in place with no way to raise or lower the front of the engine.

I've got the hose adapter on mine and haven't had to install the bypass to run water through my engine. I think you just essentially cut your intake hose, clamp in the hose bib and go ... but that's guess work for me.
