i decided to run an air cooled motor in my aeromarine 33" hull, i want to run my sportworks .26 v2 truggy engine in it, and i already have it all set up, but i have a problem, i want to use my marine pipe, but the only way it will work is to mount it straigt up out of the back of the boat. this didnt work because the pipe was filling up with unburnt fuel, which was running back into the motor. my problem is that the only way that i can angle the pipe down so it can drain, is to have it exit at the bottom of the back of the boat under the water, will this work? will the motor run with the pipe under water?

No. Can you tilt the pipe so it runs slightly downward and out the side of the boat?

im not sure, i might be able to, il take some pics of it, but if i put it out the side wouldent it cause the motor to die in a turn?

Whats wrong with leaving it in this position. This is the same as my Thundercat 31, but opposites side.

Have you run this boat much yet? The first thing that I'd do is ditch the water heater hose that you're using for the exhaust coupler and replace it with some silicone coupler from the hobby shop.
The other is to replace the brass tubing that you're using for the flex cable with a longer piece. If you've never seen what cable whip does you will soon with it that short. Ever see when Bugs Bunny sticks his finger in the end of Elmer Fudd's shotgun? Yeah, it kind of looks like that.
