Default Which water pickup for intercooler?

I need a water pickup for my whipple's intercooler. It takes 3/4" hose.

I ordered the stainless marine pickup and it's HUGE!!! The size of my hand with 1" pipe on it. WAY too big for my little Donzi's transom. It looks like it'll feed enough water to cool the whole engine. I don't need that.

What do you all recommend?

I saw dana marine has the following in 3/4", but I'm worried about it not being adjustable like a transom mount unit.

I just got a 1/2" transom mount pick up from Trick for my intercooler install. The part is made by Stainless Marine and it might br what you are looking for. (about 140.00)

that pick up will scrub speed and interupt the water before the prop possibly. there sre other ways to solve this issue.

you can tee off the primary water supply hose after the water discharges from the raw water pump, just monitor the water pressure to make sure your not bleeding off too much water.

you can use a 2 stage pump . 1 stage for the engine the other for the inter cooler and exhaust.

the seperate pickup will require the pick up, a small stainer, and will only cool while under speed. plus the x tra hole in the transom, plumbing, and its an extra port you have to flush manually.
