Patent ID: 7992507

Claim:
A forced air cavity and control system for a watercraft, comprising: a housing defining an air chamber adapted for mounting atop the watercraft; an air scoop pivotally attached to the air chamber, the air scoop adjustably pivoting to regulate a flow rate of air into the air chamber when the watercraft is in motion; at least one air passageway connected to the air chamber; at least one V-shaped step defined in a hull of the watercraft, the step having at least one air outlet port defined therein, the air passageway extending to the air outlet port, the V-shaped step being formed by two legs; at least one actuator connected to the air scoop, the actuator being extendable and retractable to adjustably open and close said air scoop; and an actuator control switch operably connected to the at least one actuator; wherein air entering the scoop is ejected from the air outlet port, the ejected air reducing drag on the hull of the watercraft.
