considered thoughts to the readers of rec.boats:


He has a gen 2 Alpha. The pickup inserts are no longer used. They are
molded
into the gear housing. He could use a sea strainer if he has room, but
that
still won't help the water pump. If he really needs to go clam digging
with
his outdrive, he should try to rig up an engine mounted raw water pump
with
a sea strainer and thru hull pickup.


I defer to your greater knowledge of the gen 2.... but how the hell do
you get "rocks" past the pickups..... molded or not????

You need to obtain the owner's definition of "rock". I suspect that he is
exaggerating just a bit.
