Doesn't look quite right to me, Tom. I have shuffled things very slightly here and added the tee, but the general routing is stock. The hull pickup is on the port side and crosses under the trans and then up over the top (stbd back to port) and then to the rwp after the trans cooler.

Well lets see 69 Mustang,77 Shamrock,95 Super Sport. I think it's safe to say slalom wake is not a priority. Look at CC's sales,does not look to be theirs either,the difference between a hand full of plastic or bronze won't make a difference to them. But a dollar vs 10 sure does.

Thanks!
I was missing the hose routing from the through hull, under the trans, and then up along the right side of the bell housing. I had seen where previously on my boat the water hose from the bottom of the trans cooler had been run along the lower port side of the engine and fastened via a loom to the lower left front of the motor, then ran under the crank pulley to the RWP inlet. Mystery solved!! Does the location of your T help keep on-land engine run water from deviating towards the through hull more so than a T installed closer and before bending to the right and under the trans? What kind and where do you get your 1" hose for this system? My RWP is original but I have cleaned, helicoiled, re-gasketed (both), and replaced the impeller. The soap bubbles should tell the story this spring when I do my first ground run. By the way, that's one squared away engine and trans!

No extra 1" hose is needed to add the tee, just cut and insert. If starting from scratch, 1" cooling hose can be purchase from the likes of SkiDIM or go2marine. Putting the tee up high does make it easier for the RWP to prime (gravity), the location fore/aft of the strainer is inconsequential. It is also much easier to access when connecting the garden hose, as opposed to reaching down alongside the stringer.
Gary, I can't speak for the shamrock with certainty but doubt that additional weight would have been considered a plus. You better brush up on your CC history... While not their top of the line tournament offerings, the mustang in the 60's and the super sport in the mid 90's absolutely were built with skiing performance in mind and extra weight would not have been seen as a positive. |

Correct, from the pickup (to the Timmy-t/Perko) to the strainer, to the top side of the trans cooler. Out of the bottom of the trans cooler to the inlet of the RWP. BTW, if your system is working correctly, you cannot see water movement through the clear parts of the system (strainers/perko) . The only reason you'll see movement is because there is air in the system. You don't want air bubbles, so therefore, while I like that you're checking things, this theory doesn't hold up. |

Bruce, Considering the ages of my boats, there isn't any plastic plumbing on any of them, however, with my career background that included lots of plastics, it doesn't bother me that plastic components are used on newer boats. |

Awesome, Thanks!
I will exchange the flush pro for a Sherwood strainer with skidim on Monday and pickup the T pieces at HD. Would this be a correct hose selection for this system in 1"ID? http://www.go2marine.com/product/242568F/shields-250-series-shieldsflex-ii-marine-water-exhaust-hose-with-wire-sold-by-lengths.html |
