I installed a 3 inch blower, and ran a 3 inch hose up the stringer on the port side to draw in cool air and supply air to the engine. before i had this the engine would not perform do the the intake air being to hot and the engine would not produce the correct amount of power out of the hole or while pulling a skier. Once i had this completed, it dropped my intake air temps to around 130 based on the temperature out side, at the last tournament the outside temp was 96 and i was able to keep my intake temps at 132 while the boat was pulling skiers. I also cut out the plastic on the back of the motor box under the silver billet to help the heat escape. If anybody would like to see pictures for how i did please Message me and i will send them to you. The boat is clearly a whole different animal if the engine can breath!!!
