[QUOTE="PSG-1, post: 373262, member: 6937"] As far as I know, you don't need any kind of spoon to run an outboard jet. Some boats have a tunnel modification which allows you to set the engine a little higher to guarantee clearance of the jet unit as the boat goes across rocks, etc. But again, from my understanding, you can run a jet outboard with a flat bottom with no problems. Inboards are different because the water is being drawn in from underneath the boat, where it still has the tendency to form air bubbles, especially from the chines under the hull. As such, they need a spoon to displace the air so that the water flows more efficiently to the intake. [/QUOTE]
