VENTING AND THE PRO-RIDE.... MY TAKE ON IT.

[Sheetmetalfab]

Bridge rectifier hooked into a headlight plug.
High beam or low beam turns it on or off.

No one has discussed the Gill Vents yet, I'd be interested to hear people take on them.
As they are not just "flat vents" and channel air in one direction, it would seem that they would take the negative air pressure in the engine compartment and "duct" it out.

Any thoughts?

I like the clean look and their complimentary lines, but am more interested in if they function? I've seen very few pics of them and none in person, anybody use these?

Much cheaper than a blowhole.
Some assembly required.

great idea ----- But what happens when the belt starts to come apart ??
At the price of a new fan it is still a inexpensive alternative to the Blow Hole.
I am using the Blow hole x 2 on my sleds. May look into this for my other rides.

Is that bilge fan mounted to the belly?

Is it just moving air around. (not actually vented out)

Its a foot warmer.
Blows right out the footwell.
Hence why its mounted with one end tight to the stainless perf in the footwell.

I suppose the same thing that happens to the blowhole when a belt comes apart.
It is sucked thru the fan.
The blowhole i saw had no screen over the intake.

The blowhole is a much better point to make to you're buddies when telling them how much you spent on mods.
A definate bamf benefit.

Price point on Bilge Blower is very good compared to the Blow Hole
Just thinking the cords coming off the leading edge of a belt will be a little hard on the plastic compared to the trailing edge and hitting the metal blow hole housing.
I like your idea.
BUT when you need the air movement the hood and foot well is plugged with snow. At least that is what I see on my sled.
