It looks like you need something over the front of those 2" holes on the cowling bottom to create a draft. You know, like when you put a lip on the bottom of the cowling to create a low pressure area to suck more air out of the cowling. Personally I'd stuff a 2" diameter chunk of foam in there, round the front of it, hack the back off to create the "bluff", and glass it in place, finally scraping the foam out of there. I got some 2" round foam for my cowling "nostrils" that I got from Walmart that's perfect for that job. It's in the hobby/craft area...in the form of a 16" diameter donut used for making wreaths. I'll bet they have a bunch of them this time of year, and they're only a few bucks. You need to shield the front of that hole with a nice hemisperical shape, and the back of it needs to be chopped off into a bluff that'll create the suction...
