*How to* engine hatch scoop
I fiberglassed the scoop onto my engine hatch tonight and figured I posted up some pics for everyone if they are ever thinking about do this to there boat.
Iam not really going to tell you step by step just take a look at the pics and you get an idea...I still need to do the body work once the resin is dry.

Keith Eickert sells them...
34"long 17"wide 9"high
Iam not looking for a ram air effect iam just looking at bringing more fresh air into the bilge. So by putting 3 holes in the back side of the scoop iam sure it will effect the "ram air" but its better then running no scoop. I have seen many do this and figured I would jump on the bandwagon also

On faster boats it's very likely you can cram too much air into the engine compartment and blow the hatch off! Ask me how I know The holes are a good idea.
