Someone who claimes to have wanted to assist me in my repair stole my manual and will not return my calls to return it. Therefor, when you remove the boot from the stern there is a hose that goes straight up from the intermediate housing. Is that the raw water intake? I'd like to periodically run the engine as it's for sale, but also want to be able to winterize in case I keep it. Thanks-Jeff

Yes, that hose goes to the thermostat housing.

Thanks Keith. Looks like I can hook a hose right to it.

I always make the connection so it leaks<br />- municipal water pressure in the cooling system can cause problems
