Thru Hull question

[drbones]

I know this will be a dumb question
But if I do straight thru exhaust..will it hurt to have the tips(with flapers) underwater(the top of tips will just be covered..they wont be deep) at a idle?...they will come out of water when on plane.. if anyone has seen a 180celebrity when setting in the water..the transom is mostly under water...till the boat comes on plan..and only other option would be to run them out of the corners of the stern..

This can be helpfull in sound reduction at idel, but... You will need hig risers, a steep rake, and I would put on flaps. You do have a risk of big damage if water backs up.

it would be a real steep angle to the transom..
it would drop about 8 to 10 inches...would that be enough?

Just wanted to add..that I now understand...that I dont have to buy a kit...that all part can be bought and made to fit

[shockwaveharry]
