Cool Re: Drive Showers

I was about to make one.
Then I checked the temp of my A1.
It was cold.
I think the OD gets hot when it has misaligned gears. Then better fix it, than try to cool.

Are the best!
Best looking
best cooling
best fit
best design
and looks stock
unless you want the intercooled units someone else makes

the imco is a transom washer does NOTHING for the sides of your drive

Now Billet Marine has a nice unit!

I have never seen one personally, but they look similar to the Innovative design and goes a step farther and has INTERNAL cooling passages.
And a claimed stronger top cap.
You actually replace your merc top cap with their unit.
The Innovative unit does ON top of your stock unit.

Another good drive shower that has proven itself over the years is the multiport Simrek "halo" drive shower. It does a pretty good job of cooling a drive as well. A few years ago the Simrek was given a "real world" test by Jim Wilks within the technical column in Hot Boat Magazine and with the new pick-ups it provided something like a 50*to 60* or so in heat reduction of the drive as compared to not using a drive shower at all.

Simrek showers work great easy to install, I like the way it showers both sides and the top, Not just the top like the others. At the end of the boating season your drive is not discolored.
