Can I run the motor (90 HP) on my Mirage out of the water ( in driveway) with the flushing hose? My manual states " Do not run engine on flushing kit. Lack of sufficient water intake could cause overheating and damage to the engine." But what about for a short time? just to make certain that the engine will run before taking it to the water. Does the impeller turn if the "throttle only button is puled out?
I am new to Jet Boating this is my first Jet even so it is a good fit for the river I live near. (50 feet). North central Illinois on the Rock River.
I am also looking for the location that I could find parts and accessory's for my boat.
