   2 randomm questions:  

First, do I need to use the anode type plugs in my engine block or is that only a salt water concern?  If I do need to worry, where do they go.  My boat is an 2002 sport nautique.  

Second, what is the "bucket test"?  just curious. Thanks, justin

	Justin, Salt water only. The "bucket" test is where you place the suction hose to the RWP in a bucket of water. Then, you time how long it takes to pump and that tells you if the pump is working like it should.

	Halston, It depends on the pump/engine but for our popular 351's it's about 20 seconds at 3000 RPM.
