95 King Cobra Cone Clutch - swapping to belt driven water pump

[soonerbred1969]

Does the impeller in the King Cobra Cone Clutch drive cool the drive?

If I switch over to a raw water pump system with a thru-hull intake, will I risk burnning up my drive without the water flowing through it?

I would help if I could, but I'm looking for the same sort of info. Besides, I'm a Cornhusker Fan and you might not take my advice if I had any....

If you remove the impeller, how do you keep water from flooding into the boat?

Do you leave the hose connection to the drive and just plug it?

Which is better, a crank mounted pump or belt driven?

Why would removing the impeller let water into the boat?
If you remove the impeller, and use a pump on the engine, just remove the hose from the transom shield fitting, and cap it. That hose will then be hooked to the through hull fitting.
