I have a full cockpit enclosure on s/v Rainy Days. When motoring with the
enclosure in place, the engine's intake air must come from within the
enclosure, reducing the oxygen content in the enclosure. I have a new blower
but the intake and exit are presently inside the enclosure. I have to mo
Did you spend ANY time on shorepower?
If you don’t have a galvanic isolator, you are at the mercy of the maintenance
practices of everyone on the pier. Why buy zincs when you can use everyone
else’s?

I suspect that C&C decided to just put blowers everywhere and then not have to
worry about what kind of engine got installed. Also diesel engines can be
smelly and maybe they thought it was nice to have a way to pull the fumes out.
I have never ever heard of a diesel leak causing an explosion, b

Interesting. We have a full cockpit enclosure too, but it doesn't cover the
two stern dorades (they're outside the enclosure) which I presume feed
engine air pretty well (they're above where the old blower was). Our

Diesel doesn't vaporize easily, unlike gasoline. That's one of its big
advantages on boats, that it's non-volatile. It's good practice to shut
down the engine at the fuel dock anyway, but they're probably asking that
more as a general policy due to the gasoline boats they fill (or in case

Hello again,
I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on this package but I notice a similar
package with the A78 for $110 more.
Can anyone help with the differences and benefits of one over the other fur a
sail boat!
I see the a78 has that chirp technology and seems compatible with more tablets
I had my Yanmar 30GM replaced about 10 years ago with a Beta-28--it fit
physically and was the proper power for my 36XL.
The yard did a really good job of sound insulating the engine compartment with
the plastic lined 1/2 inch foam--previously
there was no insulation.
A year or 2 later I repl
Is the vent cover near the new engines fan/alternator belt?
Calypso’s Perk 4-108 belts kick off a dust/soot like debris that gathers on the
nearby sound insulation.

Not near it but it could be the culprit. The belt has sometimes run a little
loose allowing
it to rub against something nearby (I forget which) which released a ton of
local
belt dust before I replaced it and tightened it.
Plus the fan on the alternator housing could provide a positive pressure
I was on shore power for the C&C Rendesvous in Clinton, CT. I don’t think I
have a galvanic isolator. I have looked at the pictures and don’t think I have
seen anything like it. Where would it be installed? Dave

David,
Most likely in the port access hatch next to the helm seat (near the shore
power connection outlet)
All the best,

My thought exactly. The belt(belts) will create a soot-like powder that covers
anything around the front of the engine. The best prevention is to have the
proper tension on the belts, but even then they might slip.
Btw. Many(most?) diesels have the vents built in (with blower fans), but most

It will be installed on the shore power ground wire somewhere between the
inlet receptacle to the breaker panel.
