The pipe transfers water from the pickup to the water pump on the gearcase. I don't have a good picture with all the holes drilled.

Did you buy that cone from bobs and what one did you get and how much? I am going to just bite the bullet and buy a new cone as well and replace that one that is on my lower I have now.

Looking awesome. I figure in about 2-3 weeks I should be able to get going on mine so if ya have any free time... ;) lol

Russ, I was the third one checking in.

The pickup is still on the case. If you look at the like I just put up you will see the hose and the fitting in the nosecone, since I shortened it I cut that part off. You can see in this picture, the water runs up the front of the casting.
