Also, the thru hulls pointing down. Are they some type of muffler, or puts the exhaust under water while idling?

Again, sorry for my lack of knowledge. It all looks awesome!! Just would like to understand it all.

Thanks!!
Yes to all of the above .


Looks great Ken !!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks everyone. I will be running the Chesapeake bay. Yes this setup was a tight fit. The turn down tips will act as a mufler by directing the sound down and under water at idle.
Its Rooster time
