Low Water Pick up
How hard is it to install a low water pick up on a Bravo 1? At WOT running 75-80 my temp climbs rather drastically until I slow down then comes back down, current setup is standard pickup through the sides, also would consider through hull pick up
Thanks

I have them on my Cig, no holes in the side of mine, just the slots in the nose cone, but possibly you could just change the lower caseing

YOur problem is not with the "water pick up". At WOT, you'r not getting enough water flow. YOu have restriction in the lines or in the manifolds due to age. (probably corrosion, rust, etc.) You might also want to check the lines from the outdrive, (at the transom plate) and that 90' bend. Many issues there with crushed lines, corrosion, etc.
