John,

The area of my oil cooler opening is 22-24 sq inches about 10" wide and 2 1/2" high. I don't have the exact dimension handy, but its opening is approx 3-4" back of the prop flange. So far its worked fine for about 5 RVs that I am aware of using this approach.

Ed; What is the opening area and the distance behind the prop for the oil cooler inlet. I'm wondering if the opening needs to be as near the prop as the inlets for the radiators. Thanks in advance.
