Hi folks,
I was wondering, after searching the list for clues, what kind of sea water thru-hulls are mounted on the different Ericsons for engine cooling intake...
Do you have a scoop with slits, or a mushroom type, (or a countersunk type)....and....how deep below the waterline, and where is it located.
Why? because I was thinking of re-locating mine, but have not had her out of the water nor been under the hull to see what to buy., Also, some folks mentioned they had overheating problems when heeled over, or in a rough seaway...maybe the raw water pickup comes out of the water???
My E27 has the pickup on the port side, about 12" below the waterline...and I think it would be out of the water if on a port tack...I do not know what type of through hull I have.
Looking forward to the answers.
