We just built a new Saris 825 and found out we need more air in the hatch, I'm going to go with a hood scoop but just want to know what everyone is using? Or what model or design I should go with . Any input would be great. Thanks

Harwood internal flange/hidden flange style. Much cleaner look. Get anodized bevel washers with Allen head bolts.

A harwood will need some glass laid inside to make it durable enough for any kind of unexpected load.

Not sure what Harwood you speak of but the one I bought would hold my father at 250 on it no issue. The one I just bought is crap I layed some heavy matt and resin to strengthen it

I bought 4 Harwood scoops this year and ALL of them were super thin and had to be reinforced alot. I think they were the 3162 (?) tall aero pro stock models.

Does it suprise you they need to be beefed up? they are made for car hoods, not your drunk azz falling on them........

Paging Glass Dave.......

i have used several Harwood scoops and they all needed to be beefed up. To be fair they are made for cars, i had no probs with any of them.

With two engines crammed in my small boat, heat was an issue so I built a new hatch with scoops both ends open. It pulls out a lot of heat from the engine bay measured before and after the install. I used a light scoop locally made for drag cars and added more layup to it. Cut the flange off for a lower profile and used a lot of screws to fasten in the hatch.

There are vent holes behind the panel with Mirage logo on it but it wasn't enough to get air pulled in and out through the aluminum side vents .
