Drive shower for high x dimension
Hey guys just considering a drive shower for my Bravo XR. Most seem to get the water from above the prop. Mine run as almost surface drives so I would assume I would be getting no water when it is most needed. Has anyone ran the pickup off the transom or have any other ideas? Just seems like a waste on a lot of these newer boats with high x dimensions.

I’ve seen folks put pickups
In K planes and plumb as needed

Thanks guys I have my intake in the drive which is a little sketchy. My x is extremely high. I was thinking if I did one to put it on the transom but I would hate to drill holes

Don’t most drive showers rely on the rotation to the prop to push water up the shower tube? The drive shower pickup is not like a thru hull pickup relying on the water itself to force it in while moving.

Just got down to measure. It’s about 2” below in a staggered installation. I know they had to raise the hatch to get them to fit. It is a 36 Pantera. Only one with a staggered set up
