Intercooler water supply
Thinking of feeding my intercoolers with water pressure generated by the transome mounted pickup vs using another stage on the water pump. Would plumb from the transom, into a strainer with a pop off valve and into the intercooler and back out. Anyone ever had any experience with this set up? Did it work ok? Any feedback greatly appreciated!

Smitty I am not sure what H2O rigger does but in the past I have dropped the back edge of the pickup maybe 3/16" or so
below the bottom. Front edge angled up to be flush or slightly above bottom.
