RE: hows this?

Agree 100% - what we argue about I don't know, water cooled setup is better than air in many speed boating applications.
I was just trying to explain the situation when somebody had air cooled...

RE: hows this?

Slower water flow speed makes difference only in closed loop systems (such as computer cooling or engine cooling). But this relates only to how long the water spends in the radiator. The longer water...

RE: A very different gas boat

How about converting outboard into a jet? or at very least just a shroud fan... I've seen some kits which will do it for the larger engines (20HP and higher)

RE: Simple question about radios

The problem is in changing the nozzles... Maybe something like up/down arm which will take the new nozzle down, but there would not be a good seal b/n the two nozzles, water will "leak" and create...

I think that 12 cell (14.4 V) on that motor may be too much for the drive.

12L is 2048 RpV, running at WOT is 29491.2 RPM, way outside the spec (I may be...
