I was also considering one. I'm thinking the haylo type especially with the ITS the outdrive came in contact with the swim platform so I had to grind the tab on the the end of the top cap

I have a Livorsi drive shower. It works good, I guess? It's hard to tell if they are working or not.

Dave I was looking in the new Livorsi catolog # 14 your drive shower is in there @ $199, also a twin tube type called multiport shower. They claim to reduce temps as much as 60 degrees. Looks like a must for next year.

I used to have the halo type but it was hard to get off when you have to remove the drive. I think I only paid about $125 for mine the one I have now.

If the paint on the top of the drive shows any signs of fading or chalking, it is getting hot. Hot is obviously no good, and a drive shower will help in this case. I would say that it is good insurance for higher HP applications. It certainly won't hurt.
Gary, it's a no brainer for you. Maybe I'll add to my list too.

The obvious situations, chalky deposit on the top of drive,or a cloud of steam when you come off plane, but on my drive I'm always topping off the reservoir bottle, any one else with the same issue................Lightspeed how was keywest ???

Gary Key West Was Great Had A Ball . If You Are Topping Off All the Time Means You Got A Leak Some Place ?? Prop Shaft Input Or Leaking In The Boat?? Might Need A Bigger Bottle Trick Sells Them.

I have used the Halo on my XR but removed it to get some heat in the drive, it never gets warm, my old bravo1 would always get hot on long runs

you think Merc would have one on high horsepower. Everyone I know has one and the drive does pretty well. I never ran without one.
