Is he a great guy or what!

Are you splitting 2) low water pickups to feed 4) motors?

Just a dumb question that popped into my head.

What are you doing to prevent too much water pressure?
A by-pass on your splitter manifolds?



I did not run bypasses with my twin 2.5's and was always looking @ pegged guages over 80 mph.

Had issues with base gaskets. (I'm thinkin 30 lbs + is too much)

Also I had check valves in the low water pick up lines.

My main concern was just having enough water pressure to feed the 4 outboards. It will be interesting to see how it plays out when we do testing. I know that the 2.5's don't seem to require as much water pressure as the larger bore XS.
