The thermostat housing has 2 1" outlets, the big lower hose connection, and the 1-1/4" inlet from the raw water pump . One outlet should go to each manifold. The manifold exits thru the elbow to the y-pipe.
Get on the throttle...... take no quarter......damn the torpedoes and full steam ahead
Reminds me of 2004 coming back from South Dakota in dads truck pulling my latest acquisition (1948 Chev 3100 5-window). Blew a boost hose . However there was a tornado bearing down on us ...

Identify your alternator. Is it a Delco or Mando? Because Mercruiser just bought the dang thing and marked it up
Your local starter/alternator shop can probably fix yours for under $50
Pink is fuel sender
Orange is alternator or post circuit breaker battery feed
You sure it's not purple? Then it would be wiper leads. Purple for power, orange for park, and a black wire
Start at battery with tools, 150 grit sand paper, dielectric grease and marine electrical varnish. Disconnect, sand, clean every connection shiney enough your mother in law will eat off them, only stop when you stop coming to connections.
