Default Re: Howd ya do it

Nobody' asked for it but I have to give my nickle about the vents. Back before bilge blowers were required those vents were the main stay for forcing air through the bilges and out the the stern. They dont do anything when setting still but they do work when moving. I guess Im paranoid having an inboard and having seen an inboard or two pulling away from a fuel dock and going ka-boom I might be a little off base.( they were older wooden boats and happened back in the late 60's early 70's) You outboard guys still have fuel tanks in the hull and spark-producing equipment in and under the console- Even with bilge blowers they pull air better with the forward vents and are also pulling fresh air through. My nickles up- just a couple of things to consider. Craig
