Thanks Ray,
I'll take some pics later today and post them. Your tip on disconnecting the drive is well taken because I was wondering if I'd damage the turbine while running the engine. As I've said, it's a friends boat and I want to be 100% certain with the water connections before I start it as I plan to run it for at least 15 minutes to determine why it's cutting off suddenly. As I said, I'm guessing its the fuel filter.
The boat needs some TLC both inside and out and that's where I come in. Although it's a classic from a bygone era (lol), I think it would be fun to run.
Hey, I see your in AZ. I was just at Lake Havasu this past weekend, and "was" planning to return to Bullhead July 5th-8th but had to scrap those plans. :(
Can you post a pic of your entire boat? I'd like to see it.
Anyway, i'll have those pics posted later today.

Hello,
Newbie here as well as my first post. Don't laugh but I have a question involving the proper procedure running water thru the engine in order to run the motor while the boat is on the trailer. Is there a connection for a hose? Is there a devise which hooks up to the jet intake as in outboard motors.
Although I am mechanically inclined, I've never worked on this type of set up. My friend wants me to find out why his boat suddenly dies after running for about five minutes on the lake. I suspect it's the fuel filter as the boat has been sitting for about a year. We've added new fuel as well as seafoam so the fuel shouldn't be a factor.  I simply want to run the engine while it is on the trailer and assess from there.
the only thing I now about the boat at this time is that is is a 1973 with a Buick V8 engine. I'll find out more is need be.
Thanks in advance! :)
