Hi all,
We operate in shallow sandy ocean and have a real problem with lower units picking up sand etc and engines getting plugged. Does anyone know of any designs for an external water pick up which can run thru a strainer? And how could I tie it into the engine system while eliminating the the lower unit intakes?
 
i dont know of any.....if you are doing that frequently you are really using a motor that is not designed for it...i live and have a camp in south louisiana...some of the commercial fishermen that run real shallow and the duck hunters use a motor that is air cooled and has a straight shaft...look up mud boat motors on the web and you will see them...
