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.
Thanks.
