GOOD NEWS. . . . The PICTURE UPLOAD FUNCTION IS WORKING !!! The tech folks at the parent company have been able to remedy the issue. You can upload pictures once again. Thank you for your patience.
I have a 1980 Glastron SSV177 w/a 165hp I6. The doghouse was recently recovered. There are two holes on either side of the doghouse that were covered over. Do those holes need to be opened?
i would say if glastron put them there yes. they are there for ventilation, which is very important on an I/O. you don't want fumes building up in the engine compartment.
No way that they are cupholders. They are on either side of the doghouse approx 5 inches up from the floor. I thought they might be old speaker holes. I recently bought the boat and I'm new to I/O's, so I'm not real sure what they are for. Would it make a big difference in the engine noise if I opened them up?
I'd check with Glastron directly. Who knows if they were there originally or not? I do know you need ventilation in there, but not sure if these were original. (Opening them up will increase noise for sure.)
