We manage water pressure by bleeding off water from the front of intake manifold and dumping it thru the transom. With a restrictor in the water dump hose fitting, the water pressure stays at a constant 10-15 lbs.

I'd keep the bleeds on the rear of the intake but restrict them to the very minimum. This will eliminate the possibility of steam pockets which the engine will be more prone to develop when you install the water pressure relief valves due to lower pressure.
