Do you have a job other than your boat? I really enjoy all of the detailed info you give us on this thread. Even though I have NO CLUE about trubines. FWIW I think you are half way there....to becomeing a rocket scientist that is. Keep it up. It also seems that you are going to beat some of your original projections of being on the water by Jan. I dont know chit about them eithier.:D Thats what makes it fun! By the time we are done with this nightmare we should know more about them. |

Here is a picture of the fiberglass work.
It aint no Peter Hledin job but it should work. This does two things it will redirect the Idle sound to the lower ductwork and force it through the forward hatches when the flaps are closed. Second it will focus the incomming air right into the custom turbine intakes. I decided to go with the standard water puppy to circulate the water through the oil coolers. This is for no wake and Idle only. I am still deciding if I really need blow off valves on the strainers. Think about it we use them for piston engines because your standard Big block head gaskets and what not dont like the high presure. It dont matter with the turbines. They have no water. |
Looks great!

The stainless plate helps deflect the air.
The turbine intake duct is retangular which meets this hatch when closed. |
