Blaster Exhaust Outlet Location

[MikeyB]

I picked up a waveraider waterbox to get the exhaust outlet out of the pump area, but then I decided that I didnt want to run it right out the back just to avoid weakening the hull in the rear. So that got me to thinking, what about running it out of the fire extinguisher hole? Anyone see any problems with this? I'm not sure if it would be a good idea mainly because of the outlet pointing up, not sure if this would trap too much water or not.

Opinions?

Would be very load normaly exhaust are under water to muffle the sound
put it out the back but reininforce the fear transome will it's open

I just figured this way I wouldn't have to chop up the hull at all and could always put it back to stock.

I did a threw hull exhaust on a older seadoo above the water line. Behind the seat and really regretted it after. Way too loud and the exhaust soot would cover the back of the boat.

Saw a video on YouTube and they had the exhaust go out the side towards the rear

mine comes straight out the back on the left side. Sounds great burbling just under the water line.

Just think about getting on the ski, the exhaust would be spewing out into your facial.

Your mats would be covered in carbon, too loud, and like the above when you board while running your getting hit in the face with exhaust. I did rear exit and it sounds good and a little quick rebound when you jump a big wave and bury the back end. Overall its not a huge advantage but I like it. Every one talks about it weakening the haul but I think you have to be doing some extreme stuff or smashing bottom when jumping for it to really be an issue.

I dont experience getting hit in the face with my exhaust while boarding at all. Because it is on the side, what little water and exhaust is coming out while trying to board from the rear is simply happening just slightly to the left of my head. No exhaust or splashing water directly in my face.

I have never had any issues with the exhaust weakening the rear end either. I hit the surf regularly and unless you bottom out frequently or get monstrous air, I dont see the rear exhaust causing any problems. Just my $0.02.

I figured you would be breathing 2-stroke trying to board while its running but didnt think about the soot getting everywhere, looking back, horrible idea..
