Nice looking system. Let us know how it works :D:D:D

Did he have to remove the drive shower? I see some empty holes:(

Yes, The drive shower that i had is a Simrek Halo model and now it wont fit. Anyone out there want to buy it?

I think that I will patch one of the holes and put an Imco on it.

I thought that they were going to incorporate the drive shower into the wing plate?

Audio, I also had to replace my drive showers. I spoke to John about it and it was the best way to go w/out cutting holes or doing anything else to weaken the wing plates.

Craig, where'd you install the reservoir? Have a picture of the helm?

So you are going with out showers? Or did ya just have to get another style one? How is yours working steve?

Jon

Dude!!! He kept your prop!

Now, seriously: Another dumbass newbie question....What is a drive shower?

Doc

Drive Shower
 

Hey Doc,
A Drive shower is mounted on your outdrive and picks up water and sprays it over the top and on the sides of the drive to keep it cooler. There are different types, mine is a Simrek.

A drive shower takes high pressure water and sprays it over the top of the drive to keep it cool.
As with any lubricated part, the cooler it runs, the longer it'll last.

Audio, I bought new showers.

Mine's working fine. The Charlynn pump gets real warm, but maybe that's normal. John is sending me the final plates and other stuff this week.

Cool. Are you running a steering cooler? If not that could be why you are getting so warm?

the drive showers are only needed on the top 90degree gear set of an outdrive. (bravo or alpha)

your kaamas are much more efficient with the strait cut gears in parallel rotation axis ( ie. they're in line)
