Yes. the plate isn't big enough,also the drain plug sticks out and the pick up tube would hit it.I got a short style kit from Teague,were trying to shorten it some more.

heres some picks of the kit.tubing is cut to fit



Ive tried calling Fountain ,someone said they have short pick ups for them,it must be a short notch like the Hustler? Ive have called parts dept,sit on hold 23 mins last time and no return phone calls:mad:


yschmidt thanks for the help.

U can also try this ,,,DANA Marine ( $ 115 ).

U need to cut it little by little until your water press is right , min. 15 psi , max. 24 psi !

Usually ,,they are cut so the front part is - 1/8 and the back -3/8 but start a little longer and test !!!!!



Thats like the harden marine ones that came with the Whipple kit.I really like having the adjustment op. might end up with no choice

Here is a pick of there fixed pickup.cut to fit.

If a hose pops off u can shut the valve !!!!!!!!!!!!!

And still , with that bend on the bottom ,,,WAYYYYYY to much water press.!!!


I'm scared the ball valve will restrict flow, the hose id being 1 1/4 I bet the ball opening is 1 inch or less.Yes I need to put one in line.

Thats why i want the adjustably to adjust it up or down to get enough pressure,I'm trying to make it were like a 1/4 -1/8 of lip hanging down, see the other pickup had zero water pressure at the innercooler and the sea strainer was only 1 /3 of water in it,

Not saying its not just guessing !
But definitely want the valve screwed to the pick up !!
The sea strainer should be below water line when boat is sitting in the water !!!! I think thats your problem, they should fill up before u turn the engine on ,,if u have fresh water flush on the strainer ,,open it until water runs out ,,now ,,,no air in it !!!


The strainers are below the water level,The water level is around center line or alittle above the crank shaft center.I don't have a flush on the innercooler.I just take the hose and shoot it in the dump/outlet back flushing it,I'm only in the salt once maybe 2 times a year,

If I take the lid off in the water the water starts coming in.In the vid you can see its just spurts not a solid stream.I would think you would want a solid stream of water coming in,flat water I know that its going to be aerated from the bottom.So that would put the air back into the strainer.The motor strainers are around 3/4 full when running, you can see the swirling in them,Thanks,Rob:drink:
