Here's a link to an actual thru hull water pickup if it helps. It looks like the threads on this and the elbow I posted above are both male, so that can't be correct. Sorry I don't know more, this water pickup is one of those things that typically lasts the life of the boat (at least in fresh water) so I've never given it much thought.

This is what I am going to do. Put a piece of 1 1/4" hose on the intake grate pick up since it is 1 1/4 and run to the intake side of the water strainer, then on the out put side choke it down to 1" and run that to the trans cooler. I understand that is what Nautique would do at times.
What do you guys think? |

I've never seen a trans cooler made with different sizes. Stick with the same size of hose. Use a 3/4" by 1" 90 degree elbow at the intake. Then a 1" pipe nipple to accept the 1&1/4" hose. |

I have seen 1x1-1/4" coolers, but they're oddball for sure. He was talking about stepping down at the strainer though.
Either way, every PCM 351w ever made was 1" throughout and seems to be the obvious way to go. |

Certain year Shamrocks had that goofy cooler too. Many of them used PCM's also but I don't know if the 2 were together or if it was another brand engine

The cooler is fine, 1" in and 1" out normal. It is the pick up crate that is 1 1/4" and nobody has given me a picture or a good explanation on how to reduce the pickup grate size from 1 1/4" to a 1". So i was going to use a 1 1/4" hose from the pickup grate up to the inlet side of the strainer.

You can't get a 1" pick up? 1.25" was typical of Escort and Commander.

Post a picture of what you're working with. Either you have a non-standard setup or you're over complicating things.

The easiest place to change the hose size is through the water strainer. Put a 1" NPT X 1-1/4" hose barb in the inlet side and a 1" NPT X 1" 90 degree hose barb in the outlet side, and you've got it.

I agree!! I've posted twice what hose will fit over what pipe size plus using reducing elbows at the pick up. Maybe you have a friend who's a plumber!!!! |

1-1/4" I.D. hose fits over 1" pipe. 1" hose fits over 3/4" pipe. Remember that common pipe goes by the nominal inside diameter.

Derek sent me some eye-candy to post here. I emailed him back to let him know we need some on-the-water pictures! This is still such an interesting story and a real thrill to see this brand new 20 year old boat project. Congratulations, Derek! -Kevin

Boat is running great, I am up to 11 hours on boat and have my daughter slalom skiing. I would like to sell the trailer that the boat is sitting on, a 1997 Eagle Spirit trailer built for a SN 176. In need of a trailer for 196 SN. Can somebody give me a good asking price for the trailer. Derek

Depends upon condition. I sold a trailer of this vintage for $1,000 a few years ago and it sold pretty quickly. But - the 176 is sort of a specialty machine. You might have to go a bit lower for it to move?
This is still one of my favorite stories on this site. Maybe only behind the first SN tale. |

Vintage in terms of age but it looks brand new condition much like the 20 year old hull! $1,000 is mighty low IMO

In 99' I paid $2300 for a brand new Eagle single axle with the extended side steps, spare mount and tire, chrome wheels & surge brakes. The above does not have any of those options and is 3 feet shorter. Brand new was probably +/- $1500. Although it looks to be in great shape hard to justify $1000 for a 20 yr old trailer with no brakes.

Any word on total cost to put this 1995 brand new boat on the water again?
It is a really cool story. |
