[C320-list] Balmar regulator

[Ted Harrison]

Why would you not put it in the engine compartment. On the port wall at the top?

It’s been there and working well for 14 years now.  The only trepidation I had about that location is if the cabin were to really fill with water and overwhelm the bilge pumps, it could end up wet.  But, I always felt that if the water got that high, I would have plenty of other problems as well.  There aren’t a lot of great places outside of the engine compartment unless you really go a long way………..If I planned to go offshore with the boat, I would likely relocate it, but for a coastal cruiser like myself who keeps up with the regular maintenance of the boat, I’m good with the current location.
