place the water intake behind the prop / a place that is always under water. when the boat moves, water is pressed in the intake and through the cooling head.

oh, sorry, i suppose your question didnt really get answered, so ill do my best. YOur water pickup is a tube that goes in a place always underwater or behind the prop, as Saugling said. The pressure from the hull going along the water forces the water up the pipe and through tubuing into one side of the engines head. then the water from the engine just gets spat out the side with some more tubing. If you need more hepl please ask
