I understand that many Bertrams suffer from a wet engine room due to the design of the air intakes.
In fact, the Bertram31 web site advertises redesigned Air Boxes. Are these effective?
Unfortunately I don't believe these will fit my 46'6" Bertran SF. Any other suggestions?

Re: Wet engine room
I can't speak for anything other than my Bertram 33 FBC, but I never felt there was any problem with rain or seawater from the scoops on deck, nor have I heard of any other Bertram owners complain of a wet engine room. You are the first.
When I rebuilt my boat recently I removed the deck scoops, filled the holes they left, and designed and built my own air boxes into the sides of the hull. I didn't do this to eliminate or improve anything, I simply wanted to get rid of the scoops and make the boat more modern looking.

Re: Wet engine room
Probably not, but that'd obviously depend on your power and it's air intake requirements.Navatech wrote: Unfortunately I don't believe these will fit my 46'6" Bertran SF. Any other suggestions?
As for other suggestions, I'd PM / email / or call Capt Patrick to inquire on him making some custom fabricated for your specific needs.
