Default water hose connection to outdrives (where??)

They are twin Merc 180s.
Anyone know?
Or is it possible that there is no such thing? *I thought all motors

Thanks

Eddie, look right above the prop on the lower end and you should see
some "vents." actually these are water inlet ports which allow cooling
water to be pumped up to the engine. Go to a marina etc, and get a
pair of "muffs" and hook them to a garden hose, put the muffs over the
inlet ports and turn the water on with good force. start the engine[s]
and it should cycle the water through the engines.

It's a pretty well universal system on I/O's and outboards.
