Default Pickups - Thru-hull or Transom mount???

I have the motor out of my 28' Nordic Heat for some upgrades, and need to install a water pickup for my innercooler.

The boat is a v-bottom with a single step, and a notched transom. It also has a small pad that extends about 6 ft forward in a v-pattern, with the widest part of the pad being about 8 inches wide at the rear. I will not be putting the pickup in the notch area so as to not disturb water flow to the prop. I would like to install the pickup outside the prop diameter area for the same reason... unless I go thru hull, and mount it about 2 ft forward of the notch, on the pad or to the side of it.

It needs to be AN-12, and will have a seperate sea-strainer.

Do you think going thru the hull, or doing an adjustable transom mount pickup would be faster??

Thanks in advance,

Chris

X2 on this question! I have a 25' sxt cat, and the intercooler
is teed into the sea water outlet, which to me seems like way
too much water press.- especially at idle- shoots out the discharge port(-8) about 5'. was going to put a water press
relief valve(left over jetboat part) and another dump, but the
pickup idea sounds better!
