Filter Ideas for Liquid Cooled Outboard Motor

(1/1)

Karottop:
I decided to buy the liquid cooled version of the 10 KW 48v motor for use on an outboard. Many outboards just use the lake water to cool the engine on typical internal combustion outboards. I figure I can do the same for this motor since I'll never take in salt water.

If anyone has done this, I have two questions about the approach:

1. Is the motor self priming or do I need to pump water through the motor with a separate water pump?
2. Did you install a filter at the inlet hose? If so, what filter and do you have any trouble mounting it or getting it to pull water into the motor?

Thanks for any advice!
