I used to have a BIONAIRE negative ion generator (size of a toaster too) in my office and it certainly alleviated many of the "sick building" indoor air problems. Don't know what it would do for head or diesel odours or fungus, but it certainly worked as a "feel good" machine. All this said, my preference nowadays, however, is to open hatches and portholes and inhale REAL fresh air. Heads don't smell if properly maintained and the only time I smell Diesel is when "filling and spilling" :-). Breezingly George of Scaramouche, liveaboard on Lake Ontario, Canada

The fine print on the label identifies it as 99% Boric acid.

I wouldn't be too surprised if you couldn't find something like it in a lab-supply store or check with your nearest university -chemistry department. George of Scaramouche

I think, I hope I probably understand what you're saying. Yes, right hand screw means CW when moving forwards. That what mine does and I compensate quite nicely as per the example that I originally posted. Gg
