Default Siphons, anti-siphons & wet exhausts

What's your claim jaxie, that people are going to remount their engine based
on
my advice?


no, but there is a chance someone just as dumb as you will mount a water
injection unit below the water line, a forbidden practise even if it took you
several days to even begin to understand why.


If the engine is below the waterline, its impossible to have the exhaust
manifold above the waterline. Unless, of course, you have a "magic manifold"
that can be mounted several feet away from the engine.

You can use a special elbow to raise the injection point a few inches, but that
does not satisfy the requirement that a siphon break is required if the manifold
is below the waterline. Do you know what a manifold is, jaxie? Can you
explain how you're going to raise that up?

Even if you raise the injection point a few inches, on many boats that will not
raise it above the waterline at all angles of heel and at all loading.

Squirm all you want, jaxie, you haven't explained how you can have the shaft
several feet below the waterline while the engine is above. Are you saying the
shaft should be 20 feet long?
