Something more like this? [JJJ RV10-COWL Rev 5I'm not sure I like this look totally either but it might improve the airflow a bit. I guess the other option would be to put a center 'divider' something like this [JJJ-RV10-COWL Rev4JJJ-RV10-COWL Rev 4-FULL VIEW]  to get things better streamlined, but it actually may increase the problem due to rotational flow off the prop.
