The prop movement is forcing water back and away from the boat. Just my .02.

From the simrek site;
"Think of it like this; if you wanted to boil water in a pot, would you rather use a pot that is one inch thick or 1/8 of an inch thick. Obviously the water would be heated much faster in the thinner pot. The same principals are true when it comes to cooling something. The top bearing cap is over an inch thick, the sides of the drive are less than 1/8th of an inch thick. The thinner the material, the easier it is to wick the temperature of the drive oil inside through the casing. So the most efficient cooling system would be one that targets the sides of the drive. So again, why do most drive cooler manufacturers target the top bearing cap? The other component that is critical for cooling the drive is the amount of water the system can process and apply to the drive casing on a continuous basis."

Re: Drive showers?
I have a pair of the Halo's from www.driveshowers.com for several years. You can't see my drives while underway due to the spray. They work. Check out their research, picts and references.
