Drive shower option
Thinking about installing through hull water pickups and was wondering.... instead of
installing block off plates on the drives.... I had thought about redirecting the hose coming from the
drive into the boat.... turning it up and directing it back out the transome above the drive. Thoughts?

It's been done before, but don't do anything to the drive until after you get your new setup straight.
There are pics of folks that have done it here on OSO, both routing in and back out of the boat, as well as drilling a tapping a fitting into the side of the drive, and routing water back to the top.
Personally, I think that using the drives to feed your intercoolers would be cooler.
Do you have generator and/or air conditioner? You might could also use the water pickups from the drives for either of these when running.

Hopefully you can do a search...Tinkerer made a block off (with holes so it can drain slowly) the exhaust passage in the drive , to hold water as long as possible above plane, to aid in cooling it.
