If there is a
continues need to remove a white chalky deposit from the top half of
your drive, or you are constantly topping off your drive oil reservoir,
your drive is probably running TOO HOT!!! Other problems that some of
our customers have had are: a case of "the mysterious drive oil
consumption", paint on the top half of the drive is dull or brownish, a
cloud of steam that appears every time your boat comes off plane, your
drive oil reservoir bottle keeps overflowing or has burst.
This
multi-port system distributes a continues supply of cool water to the
top portion of the stern drive. Tests have shown that cooling like this
can double the bearing life and service life of the drive oil by
lowering an operating temperature of 220° to 350° by 60°. It prevents
oil foaming, the primary cause of oil break down which can lead to drive
failure. This condition exists on nearly every boat, but is especially
prevalent in a high performance application where demands on the drive
are pushed to the limit.
This new
design produces a much higher water volume than any other drive cooling
system because it uses two intake ports instead of only one. It is
capable of delivering 1 gallon per second of cooling water to the top of
the drive at a boat speed of 40 MPH. It's eleven strategically placed
dump ports target only the sides of the drive and doesn't waste any of
it's cooling water on the top bearing cap. The sides are the only place
where the material is thin enough to wick 60° of heat off the drive oil,
the bearing cap if far too thick. This two sided design also eliminates
the need for a left and right hand version in a twin stern drive
application. All components are made of stainless steel and come with a
full one year warranty against manufacturing defects. Templates and
mounting hardware is included.
If your external steering
uses a "wing plate",
call us for a custom drive
shower.
