    Jeff, I do know your line of thinking seems logical as it did for me. After doing a lot of testing taking temp. readings of water in, water out and front and rear end bells of motors all at the same time. At some point the discharge temp of water will start to drop telling me to much flow. Not removing heat as well.

      Thanks, Dave.

      Pressure rates are different than flow rates....I think.

      As we all probably know. Cooling the can is good but the real damage is the heat in the rotor. Wish we could cool that part!!

      Has anyone done a check on the front plate coolers that are offered? Neat but not sure it does anygood...or does it? Do we need both?

        All this is very interesting....but....there is NO heat issue...at least not in my boat with the stock water jacket....and I've actually run the *rap out of mine!

        Back to the original question...has anyone actually tried the Kintec offering? How do the temps compare with the stock jacket? That would require a jacket change at the pond between runs...keeping all other factors the same.
