Hull mounted water pick upd on 24-25' Cats

[skydog]

Ok guys who has done it and where is the best spot to mount them? I have a set of Bobs that the guy had on my Cat but took them off because he said it made the props blow out. He mount them right in line with the props! Any info i would like to hear about. Would love to not worry about losing water psi when jacking my motors. WHere do you plum them in to the power head? All so told i need a check valve?

Thank you Skydog

I have one on a single engine 22-foot cat. I put it as close as possible to the tunnel on one of the sponsons.

On a 2.5 EFI, you can plug them into the adapter plate. That puts them on the push side of the impeller, and you will need a check valve. Alternatively, you can plug them in where you normally plug in the hose from a nose cone. That is less pretty, but that way you don't need a check valve and the impeller supposedly lasts longer as it will have more water.
