    I have the aero 2011 Large Water Outlet, but the body looks to be the same length as the aero 2014. Mine is 7/8" long (body only) and 1" overall.

    The etti fittings are for motor water jackets and about the same size as the ones on your stock water jacket.

    Hope this helps...

      Yes it does and thanks! I'm a newbie to the RC boat arena and have read all your posts last year regarding prop testing. So now it being a year later, what is your favorite prop?

        I still have a couple that I haven't yet tried, but so far I still like the L38x63. It is not the fastest (50mph), but it seems to help my driving skills. A lot of guys use the L40x57-3 with very good results.

        From time to time I put on the L42x66, but have to keep an eye on the temps.

            Yeah it really is. 53mph avg with much better control than the m445. Next prop is going to be the Octura 1938. That is if the wind ever dies down.

            Fired up the Vegas to pre-breakin the Novarossi motor. Holy crap what a difference from the Super Tiger. Not even on the same planet...

              The pretty alum bulkhead fitting i used was not long enough to get through both bulkheads. What I ended up with was the fitting butted up to the alum tubing connected with a short piece of fuel line all hidden inside the transom. I then sealed under the fitting and around the tubing where it comes out the inside bulkhead with clear silly cone. It don't leak so I'm happy.

                  Ever since I moved the water fitting locations on the stock water jacket (now goes in on the side and comes out on the top) my motor temps have been lower. If I remember correctly, the motor runs about 130-135 and the ESC 100-105. I keep the runs to around 3-3.5 minutes. So far, so good...
