Cignificant, I'm certainly thinking that the top ports are the "in" (from pickup) and the bottom(s) go to the pump.

After in stalling the strainers and take your first ride, monitor the water pressure guage. You sould have 20 to 25 psi when cruising. Any thing over 30 psi. will make head gaskets leak to the outside and may blow off a circulator hose. Then you need merc's water bypass kit.Anything under 15 psi. and you could start making steam pockets in the heads or block. Thats BAD. It can hang up an exhaust valve as it heats up at high speed. Then BOOM!! That means you may need a little longer pickup or if a bravo has side pickups you need to plug the 3 upper holes on each side.
