Honestly I was scared shi_less to touch anything when I first got this boat. Now that I understand it, no big deal. Just always be careful when it comes to water flowing.
I directed the open hoses to a bucket to catch the water from the test.
Don't have to run the motor for long. You just want to see if water flows..then can cut it off quickly before anything gets warm.
Outside water will mostly just get stuck in the pump not causing issues with a temporarily open water line, while testing.
