Blower Cig question
If your TS has a raised engine hatch can you fit blower motors under it without the need for scoops?? I see these TS boats with raised hatches and Zuls and wonder of I try to put a set of non intercooled Eickerts in my boat whether I will have to cut the hatch. I have theraised hatch with pad and dont want to change that if I can help it.... Is there a difference for Gladiators v. Guns????

Re: Blower Cig question
Depends on which blower your using. The new billett cases from BDS are a slightly lower profile, depending on size (6-71, 8-71 etc) Flame arrestor size matters too. Measure first.
I would rethink not using an intercooler if it were me

Hey Brett,
I'm not sure if it's different for a twin step vs. a straight bottom as far as clearance, but my blower engines fit under the raised hatch (It is a 2001 or 2002 hatch). I can get you a measurement from the middle of the crank pully to the top of the flame arrestor if that would help.
