Exhaust smell?

no i just just responding to Steve's comments from the ost before my sorry about ya Timmy

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.

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.

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.

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?

Steve: I would try to sweet talk my own wife if I thought it would do any good. Is a cool lookin' boat.

BTW: How are your "nether regions" doin'?

john

Nice neighbors!. Hope someone here gets it for sure. Maybe wood, his wife says he can have 'em all!

john

THread jack. Sorry. Gary did ya see that boat? Was pretty sweet,huh? Did ya bid? Me? No way. I want one but mrs jbear would shoot me.

cant we just all get along

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

Steve all you have to do is drill another hole in the deck what's one more the first one wasn't so bad was it?

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.

Thats funny then you could say that's how the merchant marine captains tought us how to drive boats back in the day during WWII.

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.
