Bob, If you still want to do this conversion PM me with your ideas and maybe I can help you out with something.

All you need is a air cooled head and a water cooled head off a 8701-2. I know a guy or could do it myself,we cut 3 fins off and slightly enlarge the water cooled haed bolt holes. This makes a more consistent needle and adds a bit of bling to your boat

I used a 7.5 Rossi water jacket and machined my own head button. I did the conversion a few years back 1999.

Ran a Irwin pipe and put tthe smaller bore carb on. Motor performed well.

thanks for the water jacket conversion idea....did mine today....it was easy to do and clever ...did you use a tuned pipe with your pro 45 ?...if so what pipe did you use ?....bob

Silver bullet. The pro is so much better than the 8702

Is the SS .45 any good?

 

[SayMikey]

The ss is fine with the same water cooled conversion

 

[sneakysneakyracing]

a quick and easy conversion would be to machine the fins to allow a spiral brass tube. simalar to a brushless system and add some thermal paste and cover with conformal coating epoxy. would be messy but

mind you i have never had heat problems running a pipe on my 7.5 pro as long as its going fast. hahaha

I ran the gold and red head with pipes for years no problems getting hot, just run a little rich, I used and Irwin pipe and an Anderson 1450 ran in the 60's
