superV:
If I take the prop off I can put it in gear right? superV, you should be able to undo the line at the pump inlet and hook a hose to it. I like to use a bucket with a short hose and use the garden hose to fill the bucket instead of forcing water through the pump!. Never run it in gear on the trailer, if you do, you will wipe out the strut bushing, they are water lubricated. Also before you put it in the water, give the shaft log, rudder and cav plate rod seals a slight amount of grease, be careful not to blow the seals...Hope this helps!...
