I have a 85 thompson boat with a 3.8l omc. I bought the water "ear muffs" and have no idea where to hook them up. It doesn't have the water inlets on the bottom of the outdrives as I can see other outdrive do. Please help. Thanks

It's an OMC stringer outdrive

If that's your boat pictured and it's a 1985 the sterndrive is from a 1972-1979 and there should be a attachment on the right side pivot cap where the water hose connects directly to with female to female connector, there should be a cap with a little chain on it unscrew that, no need for muffs.
