Does a Volvo dp-a drive need a raw water pickup for cooling?

I found my pickup has a crack in it and was curious if I could block that off and just run a thru hull intake with a strainer. That way I can also install a flush attachment.
 
Unlike the Merc A drive, your Volvo Penta DP-A does not require the seawater path for drive cooling.
So yes....... you could block that off and use a thru-hull pick up system.
