[QUOTE="kofkorn, post: 391179, member: 7076"] Looking on Leroy's Ramblings, this bypass cover was used to allow water to reach the pump when the motor was in reverse. When in reverse, the prop is pulling a slight vacuum on your water pump intake screen, starving the pump for water. Similar to what he mentions on this page about 3/4 of the way down. ('74 6hp with same intake design) https://www.leeroysramblings.com/OMC_6hp.htm If possible, i'd find a way to clear some area on they hydrofoils around these holes. Won't need to be much. Good luck!
