You probably will need to drop the lower unit again and check your work. Could be that the water tube is not in place where it goes into the block. Make sure the slinger at the water pump tube is in place.
I am sure others with more experience will jump in here to help.

First test, pull off the pressure tube and fire it up on the muffs. See if the gauge is accurate manually. If no water, the LU needs to come off.
