How long did you run it on the trailer?
I just purchased my first Jet Boat. It's a
1972,19ft Nordic with a 455 with water injected Bassetts. I just put the motor in
and it runs great using the garden hose. I've
disconnected the T-valve so I don't Marinate
the engine. I'm nervous about the first time
I put it in the water though. It has a gate valve on the inlet as well as the overboard
outlet. Any help on the proper procedure for
a first-timer would be great. Also, what should the temps be at idle and cruise speeds?

Open the outlet all the way and adjust the inlet for temp. 160-180 is good. I hope u disconnected the pump from the motor while u ran it if not it might be toast.

speed should I set the outlet valve at?
