================================

For your purpose either choice will work, anything that allows the
motor to "turn over" without actually starting.

Harry's advice regarding professional testing is good however.

Great! I will use the kill switch to prevent the engine from starting
while I do a load-test on the batteries.

Thanks.

With my 1993 Merc 150, water doesn't come out of the pee hole until
2100-2200 rpm, using the ear muffs, even with a brand new impeller.

Sound like this is a common problem with flushing earmuffs adapter, and
I will only run the motor at idle speed (around 1000 rpm) when I am
flushing the motor or running the motor to winterize the fuel system
anyway. Therefore, seem like this flushing earmuffs adapter is not
suitable for my motor, and I should be using a small water tank. Oh
well...
