After I spent 3 hours making these it accured to me that I could have picked up the phone and called Trick Marine
And bought 4 boxes.
Ah what the heck I had nothing else to do.

Knot right
Do you have a job other than your boat? I really enjoy all of the detailed info you give us on this thread. Even though I have NO CLUE about trubines.
FWIW I think you are half way there....to becomeing a rocket scientist that is. Keep it up.
It also seems that you are going to beat some of your original projections of being on the water by Jan.

Here is a picture of the fiberglass work.
It aint no Peter Hledin job but it should work.
This does two things it will redirect the Idle sound
to the lower ductwork and force it through the forward hatches when the flaps are closed.
Second it will focus the incomming air right into the custom
turbine intakes.
I decided to go with the standard water puppy to
circulate the water through the oil coolers. This is for
no wake and Idle only.
I am still deciding if I really need blow off valves on the strainers. Think about it we use them for piston engines
because your standard Big block head gaskets and what not
dont like the high presure. It dont matter with the turbines.
They have no water.

The stainless plate helps deflect the air.
The turbine intake duct is retangular which meets
this hatch when closed.

One of my Engines is complete and the other is almost done
and in the background.
Hopefully all will go well on the Test Cell this weekend.
