The water intake is on the forward edge of the exhaust outlet bleow the flat anti-cavitation plate.

Complete water pump kit is part number 379776, impeller only is 377992. Numbers may have been changed. Any Evinrude dealer can tell you.

I live at sea level and don't know squat about high altitudes, except that I always think I'm having a heart attack every time I go up there.
