Yes, with these old OMC drives the motor cannot really be run on a
hose unless one has the adapter doodad that goes on the pivot
assembly. I don't have that so I removed the outdrive and ran the
garden hose into the hose from the intermediate housing into the
engine. Works fine that way but does not let one try the outdrive
shift functions etc. The other way would be to drop the lower unit
into a big tub of water. Somewhat difficult to do but I might yet try
that.
If you do the tub of water trick and shift it into gear, does it
become a big empty tub when the prop starts spinning?

In a word "YES".
You can blow a lot of water out of a tub pretty quickly with a prop that
size.
I should think it would be alright at idle and I mostly want to know if
it will shift into forward and reverse.
