Hi,
I am new to boat motors and recently picked up an older boat with a (from what I can tell) 1978 mercury 402 40HP outboard motor. It has a blue striped motor case.
Anyway, with a garden hose hooked I am not seeing any water coming from the pee hole. Does a thermostat have to open up before...

How can I tell the approx. weight of a boat? I am asking to see if my car would be able to pull the boat. My car is rated for a 1000 pound hitch class 1.
The boat is a 1960's (?) 14' aluminum Cherokee with a 40Hp motor on it.
Any way to guess the weight?
Thanks,
