So I was thinking the other week about how my motors get air. It all started when I was considering a cold air kit for my truck. Why do our boats just pull warm/hot air from the engine rooms with the only connection to the outside being slotted vents on the side of the hull? Wouldn’t motors run much better if we plumbed a path to grab cold air more directly from the outside? Maybe not a sealed system, but maybe just a draft of cooler outside air directed toward the motor’s intake.
It seems to me that a measurable gain in performance (HP or efficiency) could be had by doing something like that. Or am I missing something?
Discuss... and thanks!
