My boat had blowers when I bought it and they discharged out the starboard side (I've since sold the blowers). If you raft up or dock much you won't like it. Whenever I rafted on my starboard side people wouldn't like me spraying water on them......lower profile boats would actually have water going IN their boat.


What about on the transom but angled slightly up so you can see it when running????

That way, you will look like a pair of Yamaha PWC coming down the lake. :D

:Whatever:

Thanks for your wisdom Brian! LOL

Well I appreciate all the responses. I've always noticed that the boats I see with blowers are about 50/50 some out the side and some out the back. I see why and there are advantages to both.

With the Whipple system we will be running a gravity feed without a pump so there is not a chance of spraying anyone on the dock or if rafted since there is no water flow until you are moving.

Transom for a cleaner look. I understand the logic behind dumping out the side to ensure you have waterflow but to me it looks like your bilge is running all the time when it dumps out the side!

I would do em on the side as far back as you could,mine allready had one set of holes, so I had no choise.I watch the little one that bleads off the rear intake also.

Doc also remember for winteriziation ya have to blow the water out of the innercooler, When I pulled mine this past winter I didnt think of it untill it was in the shop and for the hell of it blew it witha air hose ,it holds a good bit of water!!

You can always wire in a small pressure switch and an idiot light on the dash. Much easier than trying to remember to turn around and look back. Use two diodes and one lamp.

Out the side so I can see. I placed the dumps next to the bilge dump. Not much chance of spraying anyone at slow speeds using a thru-hull pickep.
