How would I test a raw water pump on my 1998 7.4 moi bravo 1. Chasing a overheating issue. Any directions would be great. Impeller and plastic housing are new.

I tested the flow on my 7.4's by disconnecting the input line at the thermostat housing and connecting a random piece of hose to the line so that I could run the engine briefly to fill up a 5 gallon pail that I had in the bilge. Took about 20-30 seconds as I recall. I made sure the engine was warmed up so that it would idle properly

Make sure not to get twisted up in the belts and pulleys at the front of the engine
