Is this designed to force water while running? My other BT with a gen had a smooth thru hull and not a scoop. It feeds into a brass??? strainer then to the gen. Any ideas? I'd love to have the option of running with the gen on for the kids.

That's a regular water pickup designed to force water while underway. I'm surprised that's the way the gen is piped though.

Have you contacted Blondin yet?

Put bblades labbed and pitched props on my 43. Saved me from rolling over and killing myself since these BTs get sofa king uncontrollable with anything above 500hp:lurk5: (sarcasm) read about another BT that was said to be a handful without prop help. I will say that I enjoy my labbed BBlades props but I wasn't gonna die before them nor was my 46 in the 80mph range with hydromotive P5x props. Anyways, had a fun time at Loto harbor hop with 2 other BT owners.
