Running my boat on Land

[Jmaine]

Where is it exactly am I suppose to hook a water hose to on my bayliner reflexx 1994 boat to run it on land to make sure it runs before taking it to the lake

What engine and drive do you have? is it an outboard, sterndrive, inboard? https://usedboatwarehouse.com/2017/02/outboard-inboard-inboardoutboard-io-engines-whats-difference/

This is the bout think it's inboard

I think those are jets. Kinda' like a jetski drive. I'm not sure where the water hookup is on those.

It's a merc sportjet. I think they have a flush connection

Post a few close up pictures of the lower units. Is this your boat?

Look for the quick-connect flush hose as shown;

That is a sportjet. Technically an inboard in a sense. It is a force/chrysler 2 stroke vertical outboard engine mated to a jet drive, either 90/95, or 120 hp. The 120's 4 cylinder ones weren't bad. The 90/95's were prime examples of force engines.

Be very, very careful running the smaller sportjets dry, even with the flushing hose adapter attached. If the exhaust outlet isn't underwater (which is part of the ride plate), they can build up raw exhaust gases when you crank it, and when it starts it can ignite that and blow the seal off the ride plate. Fairly common problem caused by running on dry land.

If it isn't starting easily, stop! Let any fumes in the exhaust dissipate before cranking some more.

On the outdrive. You will need a set of boat muffs to hook the water source to.

There is no outdrive on a sportjet

I don't understand it! We get zillions of requests for procedures in videos. A video is posted which answers all the questions and no one takes the 1:48 or 108 seconds to watch the stinkin' thing or even 36 seconds!

In all fairness the op doesn't seem to know what they're dealing with... So hard to know what to search for.
