while running my 2kva with heater and the footy going the thought came to me can I run the exhaust from the Honda down over the transom and possibly into the water? It would be whisper quiet then?

I have try it with 0.85kW two stroke, when outlet was near the water surface there was diferent sound but not mufeled (Same noise level).Outlet below 30cm was mufeled but engine died. Before I did managed to find equlibrium betwen noise and continous engine run hose perforated and it was the end of experiment. To eliminate vibration (which caried trough all the boat when on deck) I was hanging it from the boom.

Dam !

Well it worked resonably well with a blanket over my companionway hatches to deaden the noise had the heater running and the whole ship fired up on 240volt till about 1am when it must of ran out of fuel and I woke up to a 13 degree cabin!

Back to the marina I go!

I thought that was a good idea for a split second Crusoe!

How's about them diesel heaters can someone post some info on how they work?

Or better still get her over here

Who is in love with this girl??

Southace seems to be over her but not HG given the number of times he has posted the pic.

It is a great pic with the gorgeous girl gazing wistfully from the mountain peak over the coral encrusted tropical islands and her escape route just below her being the jet air strip.

You have asked for this one HG.

Coolies s.a

Lizard Island looking to the South.
