Rebuilding engine - New sea water thru hull pick up..
Hi, I had a problem with my port engine, the bravo 3 sea water cooling inlet corroded and shut down the water supply.
So I had to rebuild my engine, and in the same time I put fresh water cooling on the engine, and since the sea water pick up line from the Bravo were a problem ( and the potential for a new problem in the future) I decided to plug the hole from the drive and to install a new sea water inlet thru the hull..
Has anybody done the same thing and have some preference where the best place is to put it and also what size do you use?
Is there anything else to consider? I was planning to put some holes on the top of the drive so that the water can flow in the drive and cool it, maybe a drive shower is needed??
Thank you for any comments
