And is the water cavity in the drive nessary for drive cooling? Or best plan to take water from drive and dump on drive through a 45 deg dump.

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?
