Need help locating water inlet

[realmasa]

I have a Yamaha 200 hpdi -01, i bought a teleflex water pressure gauge. I'm having troubles locating the water inlet on the engine, can somebody try to describe where to connect the tube from the gauge, it would be appreciated.

top of the block port side. its a 14mm hex plug with a red gasket. its esier just to do the cooling system maint as per schedule and not worry about the guage. never seen one work correctly yet. only time I reccomend guage is when running jack plates and low water pickups when ultimate performance is required over longevity.
but thats where it is.
I would rather see fuel and cooling system maint that includes oil system and alarm testing than any guages.

Thank you Rodbolt for quick reply. My propeller, a TXP, is not performing well with current engine height, so i'm going to raise it. I don't know how important the gauge is, but it's installed and it looks great. The only thing left to do is connecting the tube that was shipped with it.
I will take a look at the engine again first thing in the morning. Again, thanks.
