This thread goes back months. We haven’t had any local updates, but I found this video today from Australia.
This fellow has several interesting videos.
The motor I think is a 52 cubic inch 60 mercury.
His race props are similar to ours.Those videos are interesting.
His water pickup in this video is the same one I suggested and purchased to try on a critchfield this summer. The smaller pickup size works and that’s on a 52 cubic inch so it will work on our motors. He protects the pickup with a rib on the bottom. My suggestion was having the pickup in the T boat tucked in beside the pad. It should work.
