Hello all,
I have been debating adding a drive shower to my 502MPI / Bravo. I do plan to do several poker runs this year and top end is something I love to do so is it a good thing to do or is there a better way to ensure drive will not overheat?
Here is one I am looking at http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...MakeTrack=true
Thanks

My Mechanic has my new to me boat and is adding these now. Different version than yours, but they all function about the same. Wide open for a minute or 2 isn't why you need a drive shower, these cool the drive during expended periods on plane when the top of the drive is out of the water. .......Not recommending this model over another, but get a shower!

Just want to protect my investment. Do you have any recomendations for what design works best?

502SCS,
That ebay item is a Simrek. It is one of the premier units available.
The "Buy It Now" price is a steal seeing a new one is twice that amount.
You'll have $70.00 in to it when you're done.

I would suggest the Halo model over the Summit model in the Simrek brand. Works better. Not sure if the ebay ad is actually a Simrek, as there are a couple of brands just like it, but with different style pickup tips. With that low price, kinda makes me think it is a different brand. Read up on this in this link. I highly recommend the Simrek. But any is better than none http://driveshowers.com/
