Interesting. Your diagram shows drilled and taped into the exit water side of the exhaust plate. Wouldn't you want it on the inlet water in the exhaust plate?
Just curious.

Good question! My speculation is that it is adding back pressure to the water jacket system to provide increased water pressure?? All I know is that it really works well. I thought about the physics of it and would add that it works just opposite the popit valve that relieves pressure at high RPM.

We ran the Scream and Fly Spring Thaw today. Suwannee River, 36 miles each way. LOTS of logs, sticks in the water. Height is at 2", pressure at 90 and up is 15-16 psi. Yes the inside engine psi falls off on the turns but I do not get any alarms, nor does the temp rise.

Passed a lot of Yamahahas and E tecs today
