Quicky ref Oberdofer Pump inlet/outlet

[britinusa]

Despite taking plenty of pics before I removed the engine (and the raw water hoses), I'm not certain which of the pump nipples is the inlet or outlet.

I 'think' the top nipple is the Raw Water Inlet ie. From the Raw Water Filter to the Pump, but is it????

(I'm replacing all of the Raw Water Hoses)

Yes, I believe you are correct.  My new pump (installed yesterday) had no problem priming itself.  My lower hose/nipple was leaking initially, but I added some pipe dope on the threads and tightened it another 2 turns.  I used a 5/8" open end wrench to help.  If you are just replacing hoses, this part would not apply.
