[C320-list] Repowering update and anti-siphon height?

[Warren Updike]

Bernie, the anti-siphon on our #62 is in the engine compartment as is your.
I don't know when the change was made; but, it was moved to the port cockpit
locker.

You'll see from where the heater hoses leave the engine compartment that it
is possible to make a run from there into the space between the liner and
hull. Find a later year and see where the hoses exit and how they brought
them into the cockpit locker. You might have to fish a messenger first to
pull the hose with.

Thanks Scott,

Strangely my anti-siphon was located on the port engine compartment wall
(i.e. the fridge compartment wall) as high as it could go inside the
front engine cover. That is why it was not very high, as it could not be
raised further at that location without fouling the engine cover. Sounds
like Catalina may have moved it in later builds. I'd be interested in
finding out:

a) if other owners have theirs inside the engine compartment
b) the hose routing to the port locker for the anti-siphon
