DrWatson 374 Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 Make sure you don’t leave a fender over the exhaust…I’m aware through the grapevine that this has happened in the past. The yards don’t like having to take a nearly brand new boat back to rebuild the aft quarter! It messes with their production schedules Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aardvarkash10 950 Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Yup - specifically did NOT fit a "silencer" for this exact reason. Its a well-known issue. The heater is fitted in a rear locker that also has fenders, lines etc. I fitted a ply partition to keep the heater separated from any gear that might move around and touch it. Our exhaust is covered end-to-end with two layers of heat shielding. You can touch the exhaust (just!) after an hour or so of running. Belts and braces, I am about to fit a gas detector that will do LPG, CO and CO2. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
