Listers,
I've installed a 912 in my plane using the Rotax Ring Mount. The engine seems
much less prone to vibration and kickback at startup and shutdown.
However, I do have a problem and I'm looking for solutions:
The water inlet to the water pump is a 90 degree fitting. This puts it in line
with the Ring Mount with about 2 inches clearance (maybe less). I have to run
my hose from there to my radiator and to get it to fit, I now have about a 1/2
inch or more offset on the hose in order to clear the backside of the Ring
Mount. I don't like this as it puts stress on the rubber hose.
Any ideas? Does Rotax make an inlet with perhaps a 45 degree turn instead of the
90 degree? Any help appreciated.

Tommy,
Do you have the 912 Installation Manual? If so look on page 57 of the
manual. You will see figures 27 and 28 showing the water pump inlet. You
will see that there are six positions for this inlet. See if one of them
meet your needs. If you don't have this manual get one!

Actually as I recall the Zenith manual for the new FWF with the ring mount
tells you to rotate (and reseal) the threaded 90 degree elbow in the plate.
I think Tommy's complaint is the 90 degree angle, not the orientation but
let's see what he says.
