I don't have anything intelligent to say, but I mention scoops and vents and 79(chris)is all over it.

I don't worry about spelling things right on this site it makes no difference, now if there was a speel check I would use it along with several others.

Chris, that is funny, talking about someone being intelligent or not. And you brag about designing parts for Cadillac and you misspelled cadillac the other day. Check your verbs.

must have been the handle or another boat I got confused as the one your have trouble with. Wonder if turning one of the scoops on the stern around blowing air into one and out the other would help? are the bolt patterns symetrical so that you could give it a shoot with out drilling more holes. I would suggest the one with the hose going to teh motor box.

chris,
I put the scoop/vent on myself. It is hooked up to a 3" vent hose,that I ran under the floor and stopped just below the front of the engine. I would have liked to get a couple of them...but no room on the bow . I also ran a 3" hose from the back of the engine compartment ,up to a vent on the stern of the boat. You can kinda see them in this pic.... I know it probably doesnt flow as much air as would be ideal, but better than the nothing it came from the factory with. There are no chrome / vents on the engine cover at all.. |

Steve I thought I saw a chrome vent on the front of the motor box in one of your pictures, maybe is just decoration.
Tim doesn't have anything intelligent to say so he just post dump ass pictures, guess it just a reflection of his own personality. |

hey 62, instead of sealing it up to see of the fumes quit thereby letting you know if its coming from the floor why dont you run it without the engine cover, that way if you still get the fumes you'll be pretty sure its from the vaccum
- just a thought |

Tim,
Im not a ford guy..so I have no idea either! Keep in mind this is an inline six.. I did install a scoop on the bow, heres a couple of pics.. I also installed two smaller vents ,facing back, on the stern.. one vents directly into the gas tank area..the other runs thru a hose below the floor to the engine compartment. There are no vents on the engine cover... BTW... today when we had her out, it was bad...Im wondering if we could be getting any smell coming forward, below the floor, and up over the floorboard, under the bow ? I might try temporarily sealing that area off with some plastic? |

I don't know the temp on 46, but I run autolite 26, which is a hot plug. Your boat looks similar to my Mustang. I can't tell from the flag on the front, do you have an intake scoop on the bow? Does the motor box have a vent on the back?

so you're trying to say it's too rich or the engine is not tuned right...... please give us a break.... regradless of the state the engine is running it's not going to effect weather the smoke blows backwards or forwards.... unlike the smoke your trying to blow up someone's ass

62, i dont think the cut away in the picture on page 1 looks bad at all and certainly looks functional. however i do understand you hestitation to go cutting away on one of those models windshields. i just dont know if i could bring myself to do it.
regarding the dudes comments about the mid seventies boats front vents - absolutly the best feature of those model boats in my opinion. personnally i think the vents look good when opened up |

Just noticed these vents in the 76 owned by tjackle. What would it take to do something like that on yours? His don't look that bad, but the big black frame makes it easier on the eye. Such a frame might be screwy on yours.
Beautiful boat btw. I hope you can get this issue fixed. |

Hey Dr.
Here is an email address of the company that made a bow pennant for my boat. They know how to design it with the right rake, and can use different colors. aamarine@classicboating.com I found the pennant mast from Overtons; it fit perfectly into the original socket. Steve, I guess if cross winds help you could tack that 64 back and forth up and down the river like a sailboat. Sorry, I'm no help. Chuck |

Steve are there any screws or rivets on the top chrome trim of the windshield or is it just a "C" molding with an interference fit? If there are attachment areas to use then you could add a small L shaped piece along the straight or slightly bow area to use as a deflector simular to what they do in racing it's called a wickerbill and is on the rear wings of open wheeled cars. It breaks up the smooth flow of air to decrease drag and makes the air flow tumble so to say. But give a try to taping off that engine vent on the motor box just incase it's coming from there and not the transom or back of the boat.
