How can I keep a boat motor cool if it is not in the water?

Answer 1

Attach the engines water intake to a hose.

Answer 2

you put a hose on the water intake, if it is an outboard you can get a fitting your hose fits onto

Answer 3

Is it an Air Cooled Engine? Use an electric fan.

If a water-cooled outboard, put screw and lower end in garbage can fulla Fresh water.

If a water cooled V8 inboard; need hoses to inlet/outlet to a can of water. Most use the closed system like a car anyway, and only maybe need an electric fan on radiator. Some already have a fan that switches on on heat.

Answer 4

Hose run.

Answer 5

You need the special tool that clamps over the water intake and attaches to a garden hose. If you try running the motor without water the water pump impeller will be ruined with in a few seconds.
