Bilge venting on newer 23' CC

[Scott]

With the outboard I would leave the blower thing out. I just don’t think its warranted …. It could even bring trouble. Venting the bilge (with vents only) … that’s for you to decided

While I don’t like the vents in the sides of the hull, I will most likely leave them (or place the forward vents inside the liner like in Capt Chucks picture). I had every intention of glassing them over ….and several here have done just that. In a conversation I had with Mr. Potter I point blank asked him what they were there for and as Finny and Scott said “to have air flow in the hull” and included reasons that were logical to leave well enough alone…Why they were stopped I have no idea (but SeaCraft was under different ownership at that point).

If I even think there is a fuel issue in the bilge …I’m not going to start flippin switches that turn electric motors on in the bilge !!!

Just ask Finster about gasoline fumes in the bilge !!!! [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]
