A marine exhaust hose must be carefully designed to carry toxic and/or noxious gases outside. Indoor enclosed spaces can quickly fill up with poisonous exhaust gases such as hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides, if they are not properly vented to the outdoors.
I inspected a boat a few days ago and noticed that there was oil in the forward cabin bilge area. Quite a surprise and a good find so I turned off the forward bilge pump automatic float switch and went to work to determine where the leak was coming from.
We all know that it’s getting harder and harder for people to buy boats because of the ‘economy’. Everyday we hear about consumer confidence slipping, eroding, you name it. To believe ‘them’ we’re all going to the really hot place, really fast, in a hand basket.
