50 Marauder/nxt drives - questions/ observation

[dkwestern]

Pic from Mr. Nauti on boatfreaks

1. where is the water pickup on the lowers? Suppose to be on rear somewhere?

2. What is blue oval plate to the right of starboard drive? For standard swim platform? seen them on other Cigs.

3. Notice the extension on center drive to lower X dim. Is this a custom job with custom driveshaft or from Merc as a new kind of drive spacer? Makes adjusting X easy if you start high to begin with.

Thanks, DK
