It is HIGHLY recommended that you use a separate minimum Ø40 mm, inner
diameter, water intake for the engine and NOT the water pickup on sterndrives.
Historical experience has indicated issues resulting in high engine temperature
running conditions resulting from congested sterndrive inlets. We have found that
adding the through hull inlet ensures adequate water flow to the engine and
prevents issues arising in the future. The BUKH warranty does NOT cover engine
overheat related problems.
It is HIGHLY recommended that the engine exhaust be run through the transom
and NOT run exhaust through the sterndrive as this will lead to excessive back
pressure.
It is MANDATORY that all V8 engines are propped according to BUKH
recommendations. Over-propping of the boat induces excessive loading of the
engine which will generate excessive exhaust temperatures and resulting
reduction of engine longevity. Propping must be completed such that the engine is
capable of achieving the specified maximum engine speed rating, while loaded at
the heaviest condition for the vessel. BUKH warranty does NOT cover any
resulting issues related to over-propping.
