Hi, can anyone tell me if you can bypass or convert the raw water pickup in the outdrive to a through the hull type and does this cool the heat exchanger better? I mean is this worth doing if doable at all?
Thanks
Re: Convert or bypass raw water pickup in outdrive
It is an older boat an has a 3 in , and there always seems to be an issue of getting warm and I know the 4in is mucho much $ and did'nt know if it was a good investment as far as keeping him cool as compared to the through the hull thing or if that was mega $$ or if it even could be done. That is why I am asking here, seems if it has been thought of or talked about it was done here.

Ayuh,... A Larger heat exchanger will Cool it more...
Changing the water supply Won't,...
Unless the current supply is Substandard... In that case, Fix it...
Re: Convert or bypass raw water pickup in outdrive
How warm are we talking? Fresh water cooled engines are supposed to run a bit warmer than raw cooled motors. They have hotter thermostats for that reason.
