    Water pick up ideas

    Before i go buying a new water pick up..

    I was wanting to see what everyone else is running.
    I just simply need another source for more fresh water for my motor.
    This way my ESC can have its own source and so will my motor.



    Pictures and descriptions much appreciated.




    Thanks

      I've used two of these in my latest scale WWI stepped hull Motor Coastal Boat.
      They work fine with nothing protruding into the water.
      I'll be trying them on my next F/E boat.
      Here's a pic of them & the boat.
      Cheers.

        Not too interested in having to put holes in the underside of my hull, they look cool but im looking for something for the transom.

        Thanks!

            Ive got the wider OSE trim tabs, not looking to down grade in trim tab just for the water pickup.

                How about drilling a hole in one of the tabs and installing one of these? http://www.offshoreelectrics.com/pro...?prod=oct-ocsw
