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

[Fred Grimann]

The anti-siphon valve is mounted in the engine compartment, port side
next to the refrigerator wall on #69. There have not been any problems
to date except for occasional cleaning of the salt crystals on the
rubber valve. Note: Lengthening hoses adds to the flow resistance. Is
this a concern?!

Thanks folks,

I¹ll take a look. I guess it probably is worth moving as Catalina
obviously
thought it should be higher! I wonder if there were incidents of engine
flooding? Looks a bit tricky to get from the heater hose outlet to the
port
locker but I¹ll see what my mechanic thinks. I¹ll post where it ends up
with
details of the engine change later!

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.
