Step 1: You can test an outboard motor without access to a boat or ocean. Simply mount it to a sturdy platform, place a big bucket underneath it and fill it with water so the propeller is fully submerged.
Welcome to the forum! Alot of experience and talent to be found here.
You must fill the container until it submerges the impeller/water pump housing not just the propeller.
If you learn do proper inspection of compression, spark/ignition, fuel delivery and maintence then there is no need to call upon the sea gods. 😀
