I have my Regal out of water and have to run the engines. But I can't

They are twin Merc 180s.
Anyone know?
Or is it possible that there is no such thing? I thought all motors
had this feature in order to run them out of water.
Thanks

You need a set of ear muffs to run water through the stern drive water
pump. Get them at a marine store or on line. Don't run the engines
without water.

A big Thank you!
Going to check out a retail boat store at Bethel Island tomorrow. They
should have them.

I tried the rectangular version first but they didn't seem to seal well
around the intake ports on my Johnson 25.
This cheaper version seems to work well.
