    dunk it in a lake or swimming pool. how far away can a lake be that you have to use a hose. if you put it in the lake you cam drive it too.

    DO NOT USE A HOSE AND ROAR!!!! Even if you hook water to it with a hose you can and will exceed the RPMs and take a very good chance of blowing it up. Wait and put the motor under lake pressure before you Let it roar. If you can find where to hook a hose or use a barrel do not exceed a fast idle.

    you can’t use a barrel, there should be a hose hookup at the front coming off the waterpump, if there’s not you can get one at any inboard shop I would’nt suggest exceeding
    more than 2000 rpm using a hose.

    You can hook a water line to the engine intake But the pump will run dry and cause damage if rans for more than a few seconds Some jets might have a way of running them call Berkley jet or look on Line ??

    If you open it up you will exceed the recomended RPMs hooked to a hose. Not smart. Wait and put it under power in the lake.
