Thanks for the idea. I just checked my undercover temps yesterday & they were running 125-135 with outside air temps of 91-98. I tried just turning on bildge blower & it did nothing to lower air temps. I have lost from 10-14 mph since earlier in year. I think between hot lake water 84 verse 60 (intercooler), & hot air, & especially hot under cover air temps are killing the speeds.

Talking $50 blower

I saw a manufacture do this In an issue of HOT Boat so I opened the hatch on my 1995 Wellcraft Nova and it has 2 fresh air hole on each side and 2 with hose and 1 blower on the transum. So I hot footed it to West Marine bought 4 three inch blowers 25 feet of flex hose mounted the bloweres to the back of the seat and zip tied the end to the flame arestor. Now I have seen 1.8 mph more on my GPS then ever before? COLLER DENSER AIR BUILDS HP
