water pick ups...
I need some leads on some nice water pick ups for my 18ft donzi classic and if anyone uses one I would like to know where would be a good placement of a water pick up.
I got a price of 99 bucks for one from some performance marine shop. I was thinking maybe I could make one or find one cheaper then $90. anyone got any leads for me? the reason I want to use a water pick up is because I suspect I have a air leak in my volvo drive and would rather upgrade then fix my 1971 water pick up in my volvo 250. are there any draw backs to a stand alone water pick up? thanks in advanced.... *edit* if anyone knows of any places please leave the phone number...... thanks 2 days and counting for july 4th....... drive is rebuilt and I need to paint the hull(petit trinidad sr) and try to suck out some debris from the tank(I know I know) then hope she fires up... |
Did you ever think of the GPSspedo from Gaffrig/Livorsi. cost quite a bit but definetly worth it.
Or you could try Faria Instruments for one that might be cheaper than $100 or for really cheap, go to Boaters world/West/Boat US and pickup a teleflex for under 50. |
hey thanks man, but im talking about WATER INTAKE PICK UPS- FOR THE MOTOR.
|
OOPS, duh! I should have paid more attention to what boat you were talking about then i would have figered it out, Sorry.
|
none of you have used water pick ups for your motors??
where are the old school oso members at when ya need them? |
anyone??????
I need some suggestions........ |
My water pickups are mounted to the transom about 2 inches higher than the bottom. They are basically a 90 degree stainless elbow with a mounting flange.
The outer portion exends down to the bottom, and are about 3/4 inches in diameter. They have split pvc pipe hose clamped on, cut diagonally on the bottom, and extending down about 1 inch below the hull. This PVC will break away if something hits it... |
That price of 90 bucks is about right.
Almost everthing made for boating is priced three times higher than necessary.:( Shop around maby you'll find something. |
