hood scoop or not to hood scoop
if your flame arrestors are the shortest ones available for your carb, and are already touching your hatch, and you want to add 10-71s with intercoolers. so we are either going to add some tall azz hood scoops or cut holes, finish out and leave it open so well have the blowers sticking up out of the hatch. if our boat is kept in fresh water, with a building covering it, and a waterproof cover, what are the pros and cons of a scoop or leaving the blower, carbs, flame arrestor open? thanks

yeah we were looking at getting monstaa to make something out of billet with the cig logo to go in the scoop intake so it would still allow air, but keep foreign objects out

yes but what hes talking about will not fit under a hatch like that, I'm going thru the same scenario. adding 871s and innercoolers. the scoops will have to be so tall they will look like crap.
