    You should be fine using the pickup off the rudder. Problem is that making the hole bigger means more speed will be needed to move more water through the larger hole-and the water system. So if you are not WOT all the time, the water cooling effect may not be as great; a rule of water flow/physics.

    When you run, does the water outlet spray out like a fountain or is it a drip kinda? What are the motor temps?

              Yea but thats on a perfect day, no wind, calm water, and Iv adjusted alot going back and fourth trying alot of diffrent things, i cut about a half inch or more off the rudder, and polished the bottom of the boat b4 every run. Try some car wax..(turtle wax or somthing) that helps a bit. Ill post pics up soon. Id say that on the average day, the boats running 39-40 but that 41.3 had to be luck! lol..
