Too much alchohol mixed into that mix.

Why the hell does the outdrive need cooling? Its already in
the water isnt it?


Out drive "showers" are quite common on high performance boats. A lot of
heat is generated in the upper gearcase, where the two pinion shafts are
mated, and this part is virtually never in the water. Tests have shown these
showers to scientifically increase longevity on the upper gear set.

Now does this guys Bayliner need one? Don't know...he didn't say what engine
he had.


He said he had a 3.0 - me thinks, ie a fourbanger with a alpha drive. I
don't think he needs it. But hack he had fun making it :-)
