I spoke to my mechanic and we're going to install a thru-hull raw water pickup. This will remove any possibility of a restriction of flow via the outdrive as described by Chris earlier in this thread. For peace of mind I'm having them install a drive shower too.
I can also justify this expense just for getting in and out of my marina as it will reduce the chance of sucking in mud and seaweed at low tide near the entrance. As it turns out my mechanic just did this for the marina’s owner too (thru-hull and shower), he has a ‘04 260 Weekender.
I’ll keep you posted, but please keep the ideas coming.
Thank you!
