New ER vent boxes

[Pascal]

New vent boxes going in... port side box was pretty much destroyed during the storm so I decided to get new ones made and get rid of those louvres

Looking good. Are you bonding them in with epoxy or just using the screws

 

[Pascal]

He used screws and 5200.

Very nice. You have 871 TIs?

What does the inside look like? Did you leave the box?

 

[davidwigler]

What are the bronze pulls just aft of the vent?

Fold down steps

 

[Pascal]

Yes they re step. I already removed them on port side, these are going to come off too. Never used them

No i have 8v71N which are coming off this month, replaced by 450hp factory reman C series I was finally able to reschdule the haul out for november 14, yard was completely backed up after the storm.

It was great! We ran the Skyline and Blue Ridge and some Ga back roads over 2 days Ran great! Looks and feel like new... no rattles no vibration just the sound of the legendary Busso V6! We didn't have anytime to stay, it was just fly in and drive out!

Hello Pascal, I'm curious as to what you are doing with your old louvers. I have a badly cracked one and a missing one.

Thanks
