Adding more engine vents
Ok, since I've had some issues with heat affecting my ignition components I have been thinking of adding two more engine vents to my boat. I currently have two vents, one on each side of my boat. I was thinking of adding two on the rear to promote engine bay ventilation.
Thoughts?

anything to get the hot air out and cooler in is a + I have read TSB's from engine manufacture's regaurding not enough air flow to supply the engine(s) to run properly...

the only thing i have to say is that the vents on the back suck in water spray so i would try to put them somewhere else. Im trying to address this right now too. One person said that your supposed to run scat tubing from the vents on the back to the bilge. I dunno

That's all I have too. Approx 350-375hp small block. I run the snot out of it and sometimes for long times. No problems.
But, I have a lot of air space between rear seat and side of the boat..on both sides.
Question - is it engine compartment heat or electronic heat that's the issue ?
