Fruits Of My Labor (A-113)

[ebb]

You know Tony, you may have something there! Never seen this design be for - and why won't it work? Unique!

Everyday dorade boxes have one or two baffles across the box to help separate water from the air coming in the cowl. I can't see why Tony's horizontal/slant innovation won't work just as well - if not better!

One of the 'improvements' I've noted in my collection of Other People ideas is the install of two access plates on top of the box. The idea being that in good weather you could move the cowl right over the hole to get direct air flow below.

Another was to put on a lexan top instead of teak to get light thru the opening. Which is to say that maybe your slanted baffle plate could be lexan, or even the top as well? (The second plate over the forward opening might also get more air below with the cowl there!)

Anyway, just my way of expressing enthusiasm for your invention! Way cool!!!

Don't ferget the limbers in the corners!!!
