Hello folks,
I am currently completing a mini airboat project but this is a first airboat experience of any kind for me... At this point I feel I want to reduce the engine noise from the 35 HP Briggs as much as possible (I understand there will still be a propeller noise). So far I've tried it with a pair of those red bullet glasspacks which didn't seem to be much improvement over running without any mufflers at all. So I have a few questions:
- is there actually a risk in running this motor without mufflers? Burning out valves, etc?
- is there a preferred muffler choice for this motor?
My motor is the type that comes without any muffler but I see that there 3 different mufflers listed for other versions of this motor. Is one of the factory mufflers worth looking into?
I appreciate any advice on this.
Thanks!
