Yeah, but I'm not sure how cunnilingus relates to this whole engine venting issue.....

yes you can Yamaha my r1 had what they called ram air picked up hp over 140mph i think.

LOL !!!!!!!!!

Same rules apply, I learned along time ago to use scuba gear when going diving ! Hah !

Pretty much as air is drawn or forced into the intake, the vents into the bilge will allow the air to be drawn into the engine compartment. You just need to make sure that the vents into the bilge are large enough to feed the engines. The more HP, the more air that is needed. How do you know the right size?....that is above my pay grade 😳

I agree very hard to go positive

Took the air filter off my old Nordic with a 496HO and raised the hatch...no difference.

having enough air to run is nice. having enough airflow through the bilge to keep gas fumes from accumulating to an explosive mix is much nicer. they put those cute little fins on vents one side facing forward, one side aft. I don't know if that works or not. if they are where airflow causes low pressure not much will get in. bigger sportfish sometimes have engine air intakes going straight to the side vents so they get air that hasn't been pre-heated by the engines and exhausts. even the hottest day the ambient air is cooler than your engine compartment.

For visuals to make it easier

502cid x 5000rpm = 1,255,000 cubic inches (726 cubic feet) of air per minute
2 x 502cid's x 5,000rpm = 2,510,000 cubic inches (1452 cubic feet) of air per minute

The following is the size of 1000cuft

Post 11 is killing me. he must have watched Dr. Ruth way back in the day for all that proper terminology lingo

Wouldn't that be assuming 100% volume metric efficiency?

I do know when we were testing the engine room was about 20-25 degrees warmer then outside.
