Ok now that the airsystem is installed lets take a look at what engages the brake calipers. There are little micro switches
located in the Shifters located in the cockpit.


There are two per motor one is failsafe so that the throttles
must be all the way off to engage the brake.

Ok here is the ruff instalation of the idle noise suppresion system.
In the closed position this will also help saltwater spray
at no wake speeds.

Beleave it or not the scoops swallow more water at slow
non planning speed then high speed.


There will be flaps that close the front of the scoops
(Neumaticaly operated) directing the air threw the sound
elimination ductwork.
