RE: "You can not overventilate the
> bilge -"

One of my planned projects this winter is to improve the forced-air venting
of the engine area.

I'm going to improvise something using 12-volt muffin fans that are:

1) quiet
2) draw fairly low current levels
3) can run whenever the ignition is "ON" seperately from the blower

The Gas (fume) detector tells me I need to do this, especcially when the
boat is not moving very fast.
