Anyone ever switched to a raw through hull pickup. Due to Bravoitus on a Bravo 3.

Due to what now?

Bravoitus restriction of water flow through the tube from out drive to raw water pump,

Problem will not go away. Boat will run a bout two hours and starts to loose block water pressure. No leaks new sensor and impeller.goes fro 16 to 4 and alarms. After it sets for a while its all good again. Thinking something in the hose feeding the water pump yes its a bravo 3. Thoughts on through hull water intake. 2017 Cobalt 220S 4.4 Mercruser 250 hp.

Amen its getting real old.

You have been fighting that boat way to long. Not sure to give you credit or not
Hate to say it but look for a Volvo.
Way more patients then I have. #downtheroadmotors

It could be done, but likely would have to pull the engine to install. It looks like the Bravoitis repair kits require drive removal only. You'd need to confirm with kit provider and your mechanic.

Maybe I never heard of this because it’s only a problem in salt? Have lots of buddies running Bravos and and never knew this was thing.
