Any way you could share the dimensions on you tunnel length height and width.

Great video....I have a 1998 Sea Ark 16MVT with a 50hp Etec with tiller tilt/trim and a 4" Atlas Micro jack plate. When the jack plate is call the way up and the boat is trimmed 3.8 seconds the prop is in line with the tunnel. It is a river man's dream boat. I can get to places only people with similar boats su h as MVT, MvJT and surface outboard (mud motors) can get to. I do not have pods on the back not what you have on the back of yours. I bought mine this past May (2023).

Have the same size boat with a factory tunnel, 3" or so never really measured it. Mines not vented but you can feel the arse end lift up, when it really gets on plane. Only have a 30hp 2 stroke, get around 27 28 mph by myself, 13" prop.
@fabricobblegarage9545 Жыл бұрын
I didn't really think my vent design through, the way it enters the tunnel doesn't allow water to drop out. I should have made the little pocket span the width of the tunnel. Would have created more vacuum drawing more air, and distributed it more evenly. The way it is now i just get a little 2" wide pocket of air, but even so when you open the valve you can feel the boat lift up and get a bit looser.

Another way to vent or add air to the tunnel is to put a couple of 1/2 inch tubes in the tunnel that run from just proud of the transom to near the forward edge of the tunnel. If the forward edge detail creates a low pressure zone the air is drawn up the tubes from the transom end. The advantage of is system is that there are no hull penetrations
