Ok this may seem like a stupid question but I would rather ask a dumb question like this rather than hook up my water to the wrong side and run it... I cannot tell by looking which side of the lower unit is the water inlet on my outboard..Being a noob and not yet having a manual for it I figure I am better off asking on here than guessing.. I dont know maybe both sides take in water but better safe than sorry. The place where you would put the muffs on looks the same on both sides. I had a mercury motor before that I ran on the muffs and no water was pumping out untill I flipped the muffs around and put the water to the other side.. I am sorry for asking stupid questions but like I said better safe than sorry and I would rather look like a moron than mess up my sweet RUDE...
Thanks in advance

Shouldn't matter which way you put the muffs on.

My 77 works either way.
