[omc-boats] Re: omc-boats-digest V1 #579

Willie:

My boats are up in Michigan but as I recall, there are two flex hoses attached to the center airscoops (between the
engine compartment doors) that direct the air to the bottom of the engine compartment. The lower ends are not attached
to anything - they just insure that fresh air dislodges the heavier gas fumes (I guess). I tried to find a picture of
the engine compartment showing these hoses but they've all gone missing - I suppose when they rotted they were not
replaced.

The blower has one exhaust hose that exits through one of the rectangular vents at the top of the transom. The intake
for the blower is the top of the blower. There is no direct connection directing outside air to the carburetor.

Great boat, eh?
