water pickups
i have a 38' scarab, i was wondering if my pickups are slowing me down. they are located 4' forward of the stern. they are wedge shaped, and are 1 7/8 thick at the back. if i changed to a diferent thrue hull pickup, can i leave them were they are now ??

Thru-Hull Water Pick-Ups
What drives do you have & do your drives have existing water pickups in the sides? TRS drives, or?

if i changed my thru hull pickups to the off shore thru hull pickups, they are to far forward and might not grab water without the wedges. it would be to easy to just change pick ups. has anyone tried it ??

Be sure to check the pipe in those pickups, I just replaced mine due to the pipe being stainless and the pu being alu. The will rot out and you will never know untill you start to overheat in strange ways.
