How about a drive shower for an old TRS? Do they make them or is it pretty much a universal fit?

Wow! 100 oz per each drive... is that all?... SSM III's hold almost 2 gallons each... :crazy:

Look at the supply water path in the drive. Water does not go thru the top of the drive or the sides, so it is not cooled from the water supply.
Kinda explains why showers dump water on the top cap, and also the sides of the drive by the Simrek models.

OMC Cobra drives have much better oil circulation top to bottom than Mercs and don't suffer as much from the high temps. Plus the larger capacity is also a help. I've never seen a Cobra with chalky residue on the upper.
Say what you will about Cobras and King Cobras , but they DID have some good points over Mercruiser. This and the sea water pump being two of them.

;)

bford1, I've also wondered about showers for my TRS drives. I've yet to come across any, the only ones I've found are for Alpha and Bravo.

Anyone know where or if these are available?

Thanks,
Brian

Why do you think there is such a market for after drives on high performance boats IMCO's SC, BMAX, etc..

They all have some type of water jacketed cases.

I got one. I wouldn't have an outdrive without one.

You should get one for all of the above mentioned reasons.

they do have differences

go to http://www.driveshowers.com/

and the halo will fit trs drives. you can check it out on the webpage

Has anyone seen a "heat related" failure on a drive? Sure they fail but I have yet to see a failure that was due to heat.

Why are showers so important on a mass produced drive like the Bravo but not on a 3, 3A, 5, or 6 drive?

I personally do run them but I really wonder if it's just good marketing on the part of shower manufacturers.

Never had an OMC drive, but I suspect with the volume of lube in my TRSs or Speedmasters, I would run out of gas before I could heat it all up.
