    question about os lower unit

    i run the os lower unit on my tunnel...the water pick up is so small it would be hard to get a pin through it...being its made to cool the nitro head only and not the esc and motor can ...should i drill it out some? or leave it alone?

    If you look at the top of the pickup you will see it has a smaller hole than the bottom. Drill from the bottom through the top so that it is the same size all the way through.

      Ron, we will have to get together and run electric outboards one weekend. The water is rising here and state highway 61 south and north is closed at the Big Black river. We have to get to work via alternate routes.
