On this boat and my last they they are mounted at the transom . I think you want to leave the running surface as undisturbed as possible . Teague makes an adjustable one to adjust the height to modify the drag and pressure .

True but to get to the transom I would have to pull headers to get to it. Did you get home safe?

I think I can drill a hole right through the top of extension boxes slap in a 12-An bulkhead fitting and route the drive water right there over the drives. I took the side plate off the boxes and have good access to the water hose. Reduce the 1-1/4 to 3/4 out the top and over the drives. Use the two thruhulls for the motors.

OK, here is what I came up with to discharge the drive water....This is a replacement of the OEM plastic inlet supply on the Bravo drive that allows stainless braided line plumbing. The adapter has 3/4" NPT threads and is hard coat anodized. I'll replace the old plastic 1 1/4" with this 3/4 inch and route it out the top of the extension boxes with a 90 looking towards the back to help cool the drives. I'll let you know how it works out. This should be a good clean exit. Thanks again
