I'm finally back on my 22 project and am dry-fitting the plumbing. I am using a full flow cooling system like what our man George Carter is using on his redhead.
74439
Here's my question and a little background. On the OMC boats the raw water hoses that flow to both the power steering cooler and oil cooler are 1" I.D. The heat exchanger raw water intake calls for 1 1/4"id hose. My plan is to just put a coupler in and step the hose up from 1"to 1 1/4". The only other option is to replace the oil coolers with something that is set up for 1 1/4" water hose. ...still going to start at 1"coming off the water inlet hose coming off the transom mount. I guess I could also put a raw water thru hull in--- maybe even in tandem with the stern drive water inlet...
Does anyone know of have any thoughts if I will have either water volume or pressure problems if I just put a coupler in to make the connection? ...that's kind of my plan and if I need to make any changes then figure it out but thought I'd bounce it off of you guys here first.
Thanks, pics below:
