Default Through hull water pickup epoxy

What should I use for my through hull fitting for my water pickup. It is for my intercooler.

generally use 3M's 5200 unless its a molded in or recessed laminar flow type. what kind of pickup are you using? Does it go through the running surface or up the transom then in?

It goes through the running surface of the boat. It is just a tube that goes through and you cut it off at the bottom with the contour of the boat with a little scoop in the trailing edge

we have those on the race boat. We used a mix of west system epoxy and their 404 high density adheasive filler and added a touch of coarse milled fiber.
