Wanna drill some HOLES in your new RUDE L.U. ??

Wow! Gotta wonder about this... http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/eek.gif http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/doh.gif http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/eek.gif http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/doh.gif http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/eek.gif http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/doh.gif http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/eek.gif

Might be the appropriate FIX, and you guys may agree, but I don't think I'd do it to mine. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/eyes.gif

I think this is the same place that the "one can per cylinder" decarb procedure was posted.

I saw this when I was looking at ways to make sure I didn't melt the hub in my new Mazco. I got the torq tab with the big water inlet instead. From the looks of it, it would work, but I don't have big enough kahunas to try it on my motor. I'd gladly try it on yours though. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/wink.gif

I believe this was a problem on the first Ficht HO's that hit the market. Weed ring meltdown and premature prop hub failure. Drilling that hole helped according to some, however I think Bomb addressed the problem on 2002 and newer motors and it is not necesarry.

Nope. I'm a CHICKEN when it comes to that stuff. If Rude had wanted the holes there, they'd have been there. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/wink.gif

That's one way of cooling the prop hub But, that's not the way OMC wanted you to do it.

If you drop the case there is a passage from the torque tab that dumps into the bearing housing area, you just enlarge the passage to 5/16, its on the inside and if you screw it up no one will ever see it. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/wink.gif

Rusty, why didn't you tell me that before I bought a torque tab off you guys? http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/doh.gif

Because..........Mazco recommends the tab, OMC recommended the drilling to keep the blow out ring from melting if you ran a Renegade. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/wink.gif
