Re: VOLVO Inboard exhaust
First, you have to reroute your raw water to discharge overboard, as it now discharges via your exhaust elbow... Ideally you would have a new manifold installed which is designed for dry stacking, either a manufactured one, or have a custom manifold fabricated, if your manifold is raw water cooled or you could build a blanking plate fot the outlet to block off the water passages, and route your raw water in one end and out the other on the bottom of the manifold, and then overboard. (You will have to determine if that is possible, I'm at home and can't look at one right now...). When you build your stack, make sure you leave a water trap and valve at the base to drain off accumulated water from rain, etc. the entire ehaust will have to be insulated to prevent a fire...What is your reasoning for dry-stacking anyway? If it's for a compressor, you are better off using a remote air intake and keep IT high and upwind..carbon monoxide will collect in low semi enclosed areas, such as your aft deck...<br />A co indicator on your final filter is cheap insurance against bad air...I spent 8 years diving for the USN, this is the configuration of choice...exhaust low, compressor intake high upwind...If you're doimg it for ingress/egress from the swimstep, I would just reroute the exhaust out the side, or underwater...<br />regards,<br />markvictor<br />PS:Braille has 2 l's...lol
