Re: Bravo water Question
My fittings and hose are SS. Did not not paint and use never seize. I do have to take the fitting out once in a while to remove the pieces of wood. River boating is so much fun.

They used a thread sealant.

Or you could take the water out the side of the drive like in this picture. I have seen water run like this and I have also seen just a 90% fitting shooting water up under a top cap like IMCOs.
If you do this, you need to plug the inlet water line in the gimbal.
Please don't rag on the dirty drive, It was just winterized and hasn't been cleaned for winter storage yet.

Is it ok to still use the drive pickup for the engine cooling? Or do I need a separate pickup?

When moving the water pressure will quickly take care of the "air leak".
