All,
I wanted to say thank you to this community for all the knowledge you pay forward into the world. With your help, I have completed my 4.3GL-C VP Engine swap in my Four Winns. I took her on the maiden water test today and she performed well (as well as you can while staying under 2K RPM...
My sxm outdrive is currently off, and I'm nearing the initial startup of my new motor.
I'm curious, is it possible (safe) to run the motor without the outdrive attached? I assume I'll plug the inlet pipe on the outdrive bellhousing and feed water through the blue flushing hose.

Thanks in advance!

So, I cobbled together a DIY pressure tester for $20 out of stuff...
All, first time post, and looking for a little advice. I bought a 2003 Four Winns 180 horizon with a 4.3GL-C. it runs good except at WOT, when it sounded like it was spitting. At the end of last season, it was leaking quite a bit of oil from several locations, and I suspected blowby among other...
