      There’s a water ram tube on the cavitation plate on the DT-10
      I’m working on. It wasn’t hooked up to anything, nor do I see
      where it could have hooked up, as the water pump discharge
      is all "internal" up to the power head. The
      piston pump appears in good shape.
      The ram scoop / tube looks like it’s factory made.
      Were these sold as accessories and how could it have
      been hooked up?

        The way the tube is angled, that would not be a ram, but would create suction if anything. I doubt that is factory. Most likely someone’s idea for a bailer

          I was thinking "ram" thinking the prop would force
          water up the tube. The prop is very close to it.

            Might be someone own vacuum/suction bailer design
            similar to this.

                Push a rubber tube on it – believe me, It’s a boat bailer . . . 😉

                  running so I can try it out! Thanks.

                    I have a ’39 L38 with drilled holes on the plate and had zero idea what they were for. This answers that question. Anyone know where I could get a copy of a shop manual for an L38? Thanks.

                      Holes could be for a trolling plate
