Overview: Questions regarding a dual intake water system that was modified.
Facts:
2006 4.3 Carb Mercruiser with closed water heat exchanger
Alpha One (Gen 2 ) outdrive
Manufacturer Trophy Bayliner with Dual Water Intake Sticker.
2008 or so... Overheating.. Dealer couldn't fix. Their Party made operable*
(* It appears it is now a single intake using the original through hull to engine pump)
Alpha One hose appears to be cut.. not apparent water intake through the lower unit to engine...
or any other use of Alpha One lower unit intake....
Questions:
1. Does an alpha one outdrive require water cooling or is it sufficient to be immersed and lubricated?
2. Is there a way to reconnect the Alpha Impeller Water Pump system to be useful.
I find very little information on this "Dual intake system" which appears to have been both a through hull to a Bravo system and an Alpha Outdrive Intake that joined the main system.
