Don, I appreciate your instructions for plugging the top water intake holes on the Torque Master Gear Case. Holds good water pressure in turns. I had to trim way down and watch the motor temperature before the plugs were installed.

Help...
I've searcedh all over looking for said instructions. Where can I find them???
Was thinking about tapping the top 3 holes and installing short allen head screws with Locktite...
Here's a link to the last thread that includes instructions, drill and tap size, etc.
If you need the appropriate plugs, I keep them in "bulk" to save you guys some money....

Yeah Don Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. Thanks for all you do for us here
Don,
If one has the opportunity to do this is there a negative side to doing this?
Why would Mercury make the holes if they would be better off plugged? I am thinking of doing it if I could benefit from it.
Thanks

Not all 3L gearcases are running at 70+ MPH, mounted to 6"+ jackplates.
The increased engine height (and subsequent drop in water pressure if the upper holes are exposed to air or aerated water) is the only reason to consider plugging them.
What's your water pressure at WOT?

20 or better. No issue that appears but I do see a good drop when I corner....

As long as you can maintain 15+ in turns, you're ok.
