Description
Low water pressure issues at wide open throttle?
We got your fix!

When it comes to raw outboard performance and

hydrodynamics, generally speaking the less
engine in the water -- the faster you are going to
be. For lower units such Mercury Racing/Mercury
Marine Sportmaster, Torque Master, and other
aftermarket "race" nose cones -- this is common
practice. This is where the lower unit performs
it's best. To assist with this process, the
manufacture places low water pickups solely on
the nose cone. This allows for clean water entry
at high speed allowing engine to maintain
sufficient water pressure and cooling for the
engine.

The issue is that most center consoles do not use

this "race" style lower units. These lower units,
such as the Mercury Racing Sportmaster are
reserved for boats that exceed 85-90MPH.
Mercury Marine's HD lower unit is used on the
majority of Mercury Verado outboards and is one
of the strongest/reliable lower units on the water.
This lower unit features a different, more robust
profile with 8 low water pickups on the sides and
two smaller ones on the nose. Alike the Mercury
Racing Sportmaster lower unit, the HD lower unit
also performs it's best at the waters edge. This
position, though efficient, allows air to be sucked
in from the side during high speed runs. This
aeration creates a issue for low water pickup and
causes frequent overheat and low water pressure
alarms on your outboard engine in some cases.

Assembled using 316 Stainless Steel, we have

curated a full kit for plugging your lower unit low
water pick up inlets which is extremely common
for today's high performance outboard boats
running the Mercury Marine 1.75 HD lower unit.
Depending on your application and engine height,
the plugging of lack of lower unit low water pick
up holes on the side allows clean water to enter
the lower pickup holes on the nose and bottom. It
is common to start with plugging the top 4 holes
on both sides and testing to see if
pressure/temperature issues returns. Repeat
process moving down if this does not fix issue.
