Question for you guys. On my Chrysler outboard the water intake is right on the gear housing of the lower unit. Does anyone make a set of water muffs for this? I just don't have a big enough tank to put the motor into.
Our 75hp Chrysler has the same setup. Regular water muffs have worked fine for ours. I think the larger rectangular type work a little better than the round ones in my opinion.
Also I never run our engine more than fast idle on muffs. I replaced the impeller and housing last year and although some water does leak around the muffs it still gets plenty of water out the snout and exhaust port.
