Yep. Agree. These are able to me mounted on the hull. the only thing folks will see is a couple hoses running down the port and stbd side of my engine compartment. the heat exchangers are being mounted below the thermostat on the wall behind the bench seat. It should look as clean as possible.

But, you're right. When mounted on the motors, they do take away from the look.

Joe I'd love to see pics of your install when its done!!!

Ok. Will do. It should be all buttoned back up by the end of the month.

my new 496 hos look like a black cube with hoses everywhere, must be 345,657,213 hose clamps on these things, but the c.c. is nice, especially during the winter months with antifreeze
