I would like to hear how many 100MPH plus runs he has made on this drive and how hot he made the drive. What type of volume in expansion of the drive oil has he seen and what speeds he is hitting with his platform.
FYI...I did not use the drive shower initially that is built in I simply let the water go through the plug and never got it that hot. Why! the volume of oil in the drive is immense. I now use the integrated shower and notice a big difference in the bottle.

I believe what KAP is saying, is that he mistakenly had the plug screwed into the front fitting on his SC lower. This plug is only supposed to be used when bolting a SC lower to a Bravo upper because in a Bravo upper, this spot is used for the speedo pickup. In a SC upper or SCX upper, this plug is removed, because this is where the integrated drive shower gets its water from.

Chris nicely done----you got the setup right.
Exactly and I also do not draw water from my drive for the engine. On the Max Machine Works drive I used the water from the lower to dump directly on the top cap as I tapped the side of the case on the upper.
I have a through hull water pickup for my raw water pump and intercooler one pick on each sponson.

P.S. DonRoc is that your boat in your avatar? What do you have in it and how do you like that 29 I know those Kryptonite v-bottoms are very fast and stable.

Ok im on board now, lol
Yep that's my Kryptonite. I have a Procharged (M5) 572, Accel DFI in it. well its out now. I have the piston tops getting ceramic coated. And a different cam on order. The quest for perfection will have it dialed sometime in December... not really. I may sell the hull with a 534 I have. I have a deal going on a 27 Daytona... You know never fast enough. Once the Daytona is set up then a twin... Never stops, the money hungry need for speed.. I think I mentioned in another forum. I'm on drugs and must be addicted because it doesn't even feel good anymore.

KAP,
That is the same way we do in on the Magic. One thru hull pickup on each sponson... one to the motor, one to the innercooler. The plug on the front of the SC lower is removed so the drive shower is working, and we dump the water coming from the drive... with a thru-hull fitting...angled .. back on top of the drive.

I also have a separate pickup for the intercooler, and trim the pickup for the desired pressure at speed.
On the engine pickup I use the merc relief valve. I have had issues with the lavorsi brass valve that screws into the strainer. They fall apart and then suck air from the bypass hose.
