Hello,
I'm about to change Paragon SAOD for BW Velvet drive 71C. I've read a lot on this forum but still strugling with some details:
1) what size of oil cooler for BW is sufficient? I'm considering to go for Bowman DC50. (https://www.asap-supplies.com/products/bowman-dc50-oil-cooler-40hp-3-8-bsp-oil-22mm-id-water-203010) What type of cooler are you using guys? Can you post some pictures of your instalation please?
2) I'm not sure what's oil inlet/outlet on my BW as I bought it as you see it on pics.
I'm just guessing it regarding this post (https://pearson365.com/forum/index.php?PHPSESSID=ac04aabf6bd77860013b999706199146&topic=1124.msg6747#msg6747) as manual shows inlet/outlet in a place I have no holes.. probably old models? .. What's confusing is the holes are different size (bottom one is bigger) and they're "sealed"..
3) Is the inlet/outlet defined by how is pump indexed? (mine should be LH) Any advice how to figure it out?
Thanks for any inputs/advices!

P.S.
For anybody else searching where to plug oil cooler this thread is your answer. (https://pearson365.com/forum/index.php?PHPSESSID=9e50812819b61a1325b7d90d9019e259&topic=350.msg1386#msg1386)
That looks like the right cooler. I need to get to the boat to check the hose placement, but I do know one comes out of the top of the case. I believe that is where the oil flows out and the other is the return. The water should flow in the opposite direction through the cooler.
Thanks Bob!
Could anybody with BW 71C post pics where he managed to find place for oil cooler please? Kinda struggling to find proper position with path for raw water hoses in mind..
The couple I have seen have been mounted under the Ice Box.
So raw water flow would be V-drive, trans cooler, Eng.
