who's runnin blown hydro with chiller

[Big Proppa]

The issue is getting seperate water to both the motor and the chiller. Our thought is to just run another stainless tube down the rudder, but I'm throwing this out there to see if anyone else has any another ideas.
Thanks

sounds like it is a outboard steering hydro and if it is it probably is'nt a cruiser. If it's inboard run a seperate inlet to the chiller. I run a chiller on a race application and have a seperate tank for Icewater. Either way make sure you have enough water flow through the chiller or major damage can result. Alot of offshore guys force feed it if you run an electric pump it needs to be a min of 10gpm I run a 20GOM Pump and no probs YET..

Thanks for the reply T - It is an inboard steer but I hope to get that tail to kick so I'm looking ahead keeping the water flow, and I know that the only way to be sure is to run it off the rudder like Sangsters hydro.
So you only carry enough water for 1 pass at a time?.

Yes it is a closed sys and I change the water after ever pass. If it's a inboard hydro the chances are it is'nt going to blow the tail to hard for two reasons. 1. the prop is'nt far enough back to do it and 2. if it blows to hard you will loose the steering hope it helps..

Sangster - if your were going to run a blower and a chiller with the set up you have now, how would you get water to the chiller - that's basically what I'm up against - would you increase the size of your existing stainless tube on the rudder or would you try to piggy back another tube?. I don't think I can get enough valume out of the #8.

Bill.. Like t-bag said..his is a race setup(enclosed system) ..with your deal I would have a doble set of box tubes welded to the back of the rudder....one for water /motor & one for Chiller..

thats where I was headed thanks again sangster.
Now my second question is will the water get to the chiller without a water pump?.

[Sangster]

Not sure on that one..Someone will help I'm sure...
