    Default Race lower unit with water pump?

    Hello all,
    I'm gathering data and parts for an OMC SST45 clone engine that will be mounted on a fabricated tower.

    My question is, are there any racing lower units that have provisions for a water pump?
    Hoping to find something that has current parts support if possible.

    Thank you,
    Rob

    The 45SS gearcase has a water pump and is available from Sea-Way Marine..... seawaymarine.com and the phone number is there. Talk to Dave Losvar.

    Thanks for the response Dean.

    I ran across some older posts that made reference to Seaway possibly having stock on them but was not sure if that still held true today. I will call on Monday and get the current scoop.

    This motor will be run on an E-Hydro boat so i was hoping to find something that was a bit lighter and has a better profile. Reverse is not a requirement.

    I guess another alternative is to make a subplate between the foot and tower that holds a pump and uses a transom mounted pickup.

    Thanks again,
    Rob

    Rob,

    Many E Hydro outfits have the 45 SS gear case on them. On an E I would not recommend a lighter unit.

    a 7/8" plate with eccentric counterbore makes a waterpump. See Bass water Pump.
