Re: Wind deflectors for 35 Flame
also they are aluminium. and the small circular piece is a steering wheel hub, the other is a vent with a recessed screen from behind to replace ski pilon, as a vent.

Paul:
The deflectors are in. They look great, and the engineering appears to be very sound (should be for $500
).
I'll let you guys know how well they work soon.

Steve
PS On the vent thing, I totally agree. There's no way the 575Sci on my boat could breathe efficiently through those two small air intakes below the sunlounge. I know it's a styling quirk of the Nordics to keep the decks sleek and clean, but some air intakes in the engine compartment deck area would help these boats breath better.
I've added 2 billet intakes to the front of the hatch, just above the rear seat, and another one in the center/rear of the sunlounge/hatch when I rebuilt it to clear the intercooler.
Instead of 2, I now have a total of 5. If I could figure out how to downsize my jpegs I would send the pics.

This is very preliminary, but on a quick evening run, the deflectors did seem to work pretty well. Interestingly, they seemed to work better the faster I ran. At 60, the airflow through the cockpit was fairly smooth..................
More to follow.

Guys,
I was reserving judgement until A. I had run with them at full throttle (over 80), and B. Had seen what effect they had while I was using the bolsters standing vs seated.
Regardless of speed, they deflected air very well, with no rattles or shakes, or flexing that I could dectect.
Bottom line.........overpriced (four hinged mounts and 2 pieces of lexan, come on
) but effective.
Regards,
Steve

Re: Wind deflectors for 35 Flame
