I've seen advice like this a couple of times. Be very careful about hooking an land pressure water hose to your raw water system. As a matter of fact, don't do it. You can end up filling the exhaust manifold and the cylinders with water, which unsurprisingly, is bad for the engine. Far better to remove the raw water intake and put it in a bucket and let the water pump draw water at the required rate.
