Thanks for the input guys, it appears that I may have a patent infringment problem as posted above. Hmmm.

I also remember an article published several years ago in one of the boating magazines evaluating drive showers and their effect on gear lube temperature. I can't remember the temperatures they were running, but I will see if I can find the article.

If you or anyone else could point me to that article (or other articles ) on the effect of different drive showers on gear lube temperature that would be much appreciated.

Any info that you can share about the measured drive oil temperature versus different operating conditions/HP/drive showers/etc.?

Good info. Thanks. After the hard run you noted the drive oil temp hit 230F without a drive shower. Now that you have installed a drive shower what is the drive oil temperature with a similar hard run?

This is not my setup. I just remember reading the thread awhile ago. I think he hooks up the drive shower on page 4 or 5 and reports back. You will need to read the whole thread. Pages 2 and 3 is just a bunch talk back.

may have to run a separate ground drom the drive housing back inside the boat to get it to read right

I do not find anywhere in that thread where he reports back with the drive oil temperature after adding the shower

Yes on page 5 i think he says it runs 20 degree cooler then without the shower.
