Re: help me identify my outdrive
The hose is fine for that. don't over rev in nuetral keep rpms under 2000 for short peroids of time and you'll be safe. Idle all day if you want. You could still run it without the upper in a tub but you don't want to get water in the outdrive. Muffs are cleaner and easier. Buy a small shutoff valve to put on the muffs to control the flow and plug the hole on the bottom of the outdrive. If you have high water pressure, open it half way, then once the engines running open it the rest of the way.
Of course look for the dipstick, but also to see the condition of the interior parts. It's a no brainer, got to be done. I'm not sure where the dipstick could have fallen down to. If it did fall off which seems very strange. It isn't a flimsy peice of metal. Its 6 to 8 inches long (never measured).
Dist., starter, alternator, fuel pump, must be marine for safety purposes!! It's like wearing your seat belt.
