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? |
