[C320-list] ENGINE SPACE VENTING

[John morrison]

I attended a surveying seminar on the weekend, and for those who may not know ( I didn’t) diesel engine spaces do not require forced ventilation in order to pass a survey. You may want to have it for other reasons as has been mentioned in this forum. I intend to remove the vent hoses from the cowls and let the space vent by convection. The cowls are high up in the stern so warm air should exit pretty well, we'll see  how that works. When the hoses are attached the cowl holes are blocked and hot air from the engine, fridge compressor, cannot escape; unless of course the blower is running.
