I recently lost my engine cover (flew out the back of my truck and the boat ran it over!!) and now have the chance to have one custom made to my liking. The lid covers the whole back of the boat, so I have enough space to put whatever I want. What I am hoping for is either a fiberglass scoop built into the lid that mates with the carb through probably a carb plate, so when you lift the hatch the scoop comes up and you have just the carb ans spark arrestor on the engine, carb surrounded by the housing.
Or my other idea was to put a stainless scoop on the carb and have it just stick outside the cover, but stays on the engine when the lid is lifted.
WHat do you guys think and have anyof you done this before?? I have seen lots of pictures where this has been done but not talk about it. What type of scoop have you used? Harwood, if so drag scoop and what part numbers?? Pictures of set-up with lid down and up??
Thanks-
