Re: washdown
Not a pro here, like many others, but away from the center of the boat ( as in not near the drive ). That could cause cavitation and screw up the props ability to bite into 'solid water'. Also, I drilled a few extra holes in the aft side of the water pickup ( it was a recommendation from someone here, awhile ago, to help reduce the water jamming into the intake w/ such force that it would cause blow-by, past my pump - making water spray out the through the pump hose even when it was off. It reduced that blow by by 75%.
