My previous boat had a Coastal Navigator flasher whose motor was bad.  I
was able to get a new motor at a very reasonable price from

Hi Phil & Dan,

I think this may turn out to be a dead end. I just tried the number and got
a disconnect notice (BTW: Woodinville is in the 425 area code now).

That address is only a few miles from my house so I'll drive by tomorrow
when I'm out and about and see if they're still there.

Deeply yours,

Alex in Woodinville

A request from my other half (Wen-hence the boat name)
to install a hood fan above the propane stove/oven
combo on our tralwer got me to thinking. I dont
rightly recall seeing any kind of contraption such as
this on a boat our size (37ft). Anyone ever do such a
thing? or have such a thing on such size boat? How
about technical gotchas? I see one with venting the
exhaust. I am betting there are more.

Short version is my T6.354 has two temp gauges. One up
on the fly bridge one down below. I finally got my
work done enough to go on a long shakedown cruise
yesterday and see what shook loose.

I found a discrepancy in the two temp gauges. Upper
read somewhere in the 160 F range, while the lower
read  steady at 180 F. Didnt fluctuate at speed, but
came down some on idle as would be expected.

  1. Owners of this engine out there, does the 180F
    sound reasonable for max temp?

  2. As for the discrepancy, are there two actual wires
    coming off the engine, or is temp sensor usually
    spliced somewhere?  Im guessing I have a faulty gauge,
    and one wire heading up to the gauges.

The vent shouldn't be an insurmountable problem.  My 36' sail boat came
from the yard with such a vent pipe over the stove.  It was maybe a 3" or
4" brass pipe as I recall, with a flat mushroom cap over the top outside to
discourage water from coming back down it and maybe a knob of some kind at
the bottom to close it off if you were so inclined.  No fan, but it would
have been easy enough to add one.  It only stood an inch or so above the
deck as I recall.  Just enough to get a little ventilation up under the cap
and trip you occasionally if you didn't watch out for it walking on deck.

The trawler I'm buying now also has a vent pipe that the owner added
through the fore deck.  The surveyor looked it over and had no complaints
even though it was a done bit unorthodoxly.  They used a length of 4" PVC
(or some such plastic pipe) bedded neatly through the deck.  In this case,
they brought the pipe up through the deck, and then on up through the floor
of a locker so it vents into the locker which provides the rain cover.  I'm
not sure if there's a fan mounted at the bottom of it or not.

I just had a pair of Perkins 6.3544 engines surveyed as it happens.  The
two engines measured 186/199 at full load, and 184/195 at cruise.  The
mechanic doing the surveying said this was ok, but a bit too warm.  The
temperatures, along with some other observations brought him to the
conclusion that the heat exchangers need to be cleaned out is all.

We just removed ours.  It was a teak hood with a blower motor that exhausted
out a stainless steel "L" shaped pipe out the side of the hull.  it worked
(sort of) but was really really noisy.  Stick your head in the engineroom
when you have the blowers on.  Then think of it in the galley.  Our original
owner had it built with the boat -- made of solid teak -- weighs a ton.  We
took it down when we painted the headliner and decided to leave it off.
Instead we cut a 7" hole in the ceiling up to the flybridge and installed
one of those mushroom exhaust things.  You turn the crank and it is closed
so you don't lose all of your heat.  When you are cooking you turn the crank
and it is opened.  Rain cannot get in because it is like a mushroom cap.  We
were out this weekend and it works perfectly.  It has no moving parts and
requires no electricity.  works on the convection principle, and it really
works to get rid of steam from spagetti etc.  Works best with a window
cracked, then it REALLY draws the air.
