Hi all and a question about Walter V-drive. My cooling system on the V-drive is shot. Cover is corroded so bad it pisses out water all around the gasket surface. The actual V-drive is really bad also with corrosion and the bolt holes are shot. Before the salt water eats into the actual gears I want to completely bypass the raw water from the V-drive and go straight to the engine pump. Has anyone replumbed the oil system to a engine oil cooler with a fan? I've been building hot rods since the late 1960's and can't see why this would not be a far better cooling system than raw water that eats it away as it cools. I know boats aren't cars so any input pro or con greatly appreciated.
