    Thanks again Bob D,

    Your pic is very very helpful.

    Talking with the friend that I got this outboard from (short the leg, carburetor, and starter) he said two things (that were said here in various ways)

    The pump doesn’t self prime and,

    The pump sits at the seam at the very top of the leg.

    Looking for and at pics to jog my memory I found this pic of an older 35 HP Johnson and yeah I’m no where near that seam! This doesn’t mean I should skip pulling the exhaust portion of the leg and insert that water tube from the top (I should and will)(thanks Bob) but FIRST I need a bigger bucket. For anyone who is following this here is the pic of that leg that got me to understand.
