Wet engine room

[Navatech]

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?

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.

Probably not, but that'd obviously depend on your power and it's air intake requirements.
As for other suggestions, I'd PM / email / or call Capt Patrick to inquire on him making some custom fabricated for your specific needs.
