I agree !!! But you already are injesting water 100 % of the time !!! Check this out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zfx6l...layer_embedded
I often ponder if Mercury hires Chimps to engineer their engines ??? How in the hell could they overlook this ??

Just finished up 2nd prototype , this one has improved air flow as slot is much longer and painting it will be an option The Naca Opti duxt on left is my first prototype with air slot on rear . As you can see in the other Photos the slot wraps around the side which should be all the air it needs . Each engine will have two dropped in the upper R & L front angled section on cowl

Not sure on pricing , will keep posted when they are released . The painted ones are much more work as they have to be prepped , adhesion promoter and then straight up black Urethane . NOT A MICKEY MOUSE SPRAY JOB !!!

They are not flat , highy complex curve and will only fit as shown . Keep in mind as of right now your engine is inhaling water 100 % of the time so that one time you get a splash is really no big deal. I shoild have a pic of them in place later today. Each set will come with template and you simply tape cowl to protect from scratching and use a roto zip
