Does anyone know roughly how much power is gained by running the exhaust out to air instead of under water through the drive. In case it matters the engine is a 350. Thanks<br /><br />Mike

Re: Exhaust power increase

On a 350 the increase will be a top end gain of about 1 mph. No noticable change on the low end.<br /><br />Thats not much for a whole lot of noise. You can have the best of both worlds by going with one of the combo systems like "Captains Choice" that let you switch between Thru prop and thru Transom exhaust. <br />Also, check your fav. boating spots regs because some of them have noise regulations...

Re: Exhaust power increase

If you have the boat and a tuned motorits all part of the package. Only about 5 to 7 hp but that is one out of many thing you can do with a 350.
