[QUOTE="wmk0002, post: 446022, member: 13975"] Can an adapter to be made to safely adapt a garden hose to the copper water inlet tube of an outboard? If so is there an ideal psi to run the supplied water at? I would think a reducer with a pressure regulator and a clamp fitting would be sufficient. There is an outboard for sale locally which has a busted lower unit as a result of freezing. It is a good deal if I can just get the compression and spark to check out ok when I go look at it but I would like to be able to run it at some point before deciding to part it out myself or to repair or replace the lower unit.
