I have a 1996 225 OMC with the tell-tale that screws in the center. My problem is this: I have low water pickup and this thing constantly stops up. Can I drill this out some or ad a bigger hose via a fitting in its place? Thanks in advance....

Thanks Benny. Maybe someone will hit on it eventually. I hope because i'm tired of pulling this thing apart in the water. That was a poor design in the first place. A friend has a Johnson 200 with the regular side pickups and he constantly has problems also. We both idled through a rock wier the other day and we both stopped up with sand.
