You could put those in your living room if they weren't so much fun in a boat.

Those are incredible. Hopefully the guts are as perfect as the outside is finished.

Dont laugh but I actualy asked my girl if she would bring a
plate (t-day dinner) by the shop.

She didnt think that was funny.


I was able to get the intake and crash box on the port motor.

There is a built in foreign object screen. (Seagulls, Sunglasses
Bras, Whatever).

The intake fits snug against the intake housing.
If yooze guys remember this fits up against the rectangular hatch that I reglassed in.

If you look real close thru the screen you can bearly see the
freshwater compressor wash bar.


This will be fed by a pump and a electric valve to the onboard
40 gallon poly tank.

Gerry, Way too cool ! ? is the quality of the wash water of any significance ie: the use of distilled water over say a water high in calcium or potassium or other adverse elements found in low quality tap waters ? Jay

When do you use the fresh water wash down ?

Looks great!!! Just watched the show on Miss Geico (again), & all I could think about is how wicked yours and all the other turbines boats are. It would be be cool to get all the turbine boats together at one one run.
It's amazing what you can learn from OSO, keep up the great work, and pics!!!

This has to be the best " do it yourself " thread of all time. You are one talented dude!

Dont really know. Just tap water. I would assume
a additive to clean any salt spray accumulation wouldnt hurt.
But I would feel better knowing it would not eat the metal
the turbine blades are made of.

I would assume after running for the day or even a quick shot
during would not hurt.

I was speaking to a Helicopter mechanic in regards to some
wiring issues.

They do alot of crop dusting applications and the chemical
attacks the compressor wheels. They actualy take a garden hose and spray it at ground idle.
