smell

Hi, I did some fibreglass (plyester resin) work in the cabin of our boat three days ago, and it still smells very strong, even though it appears to have dried/hardened properly. Is there anything I can do to get rid of the smell? The area will be covered by the vinyl naugahide (sp?), but I...

This sailing season I've noticed a slight odor coming from my Universal M25XP on my 1988 E -32-200 when it has been running for a fair amount of time (45 minutes or more).

When we flush the head, or when we tack to an aggresive heal, these horrable smells are coming from the vent. The PO didn't use the boat much the past few years and the local marina guy recommended to do a good pump out then clear water with a product called Rid X. The theory being that the...

I own a 1974 Ericson 27 with a Palmer P60 (newly rebuilt), new exhaust system (from manifold to transom), new fuel pump and fuel lines, new blower, etc... Connections appear to be tight and leak free. I believe this engine was factory installed. Probably Ericson bought stock from Palmer when...
