New 912 Install: Coolant sys gripes

I don't remember any wrestling with the water pump inlet hose.

Hi John,

Speculation:

1. While the Ring Mount may be  considered "The Standard" many other mounting systems are "out there". If Rotax were to deliver engines with the water pump in/outlets in another configuration, someone else would likely complain - ie its a no win situation.

2. Like James I have never had a problem fitting 1" ID hoses to my 912. There is enough elasticity in the hose to accomodate 27.5mm.

😈

The water pump fitting can be turned right or left and  at different angles. It should work for any installation. I do a ton or rubber changes and have enevr had an issue. The only issue I have sometimes is with how close the firewall is and muffler that can make it a little harder to get the hoses on, but it works out when you get more experience.
