Pierre, 10 years ago I added an AirSep crankcase ventilation, intake silencer, and air filter system to Calypso's Perkins 4-108 auxiliary diesel engine. The AirSep may cost more but it directs the lube oil in the blow by back into the crankcase and quiets the air intake. I have been very happy with the quality and ease of installation. Calypso's ventilation is two chrome plated clam shell type vents set in the side deck as far aft as possible. Even though Calypso (+ in the past as Arieto, Phantom, and Esta Es) has sailed many miles offshore in all kinds of weather I plan to improve the vent's ability to reduce water intrusion. I have been looking for a low profile Dorade type vent with little success. My current plane is to fabricate something similar out of teak and plop the original clam shell on top.

As all diesel engine C&C, there is no engine compartment ventilation. I would like to add forced ventilation while motoring and after coming to the dock to evacuate heat and odors from the engine compartment. To help with the odor, I will do the "crank case ventilation to intake" modification with a Jegs air/oil separator before spring launch, . Was there any 38-3 with gas engine, so I can copy the original installation? If not, what type of vent are used on gas engine C&C, and where are they located (transom, deck, ...). I have a MOB pole tube in my transom that could integrate a stealth vent. Pierre Tremblay Avalanche 1988 C&C 38 mk3, sail # 54988
