Hi all
I have a curious one here. Woke up yesterday morning to an odd smell in the
cabin, eminating from a locker in the
head. I thought originally it was the smell of just lit matches, but now think it could be the smell from an
exhaust. With all the
portlights open the smell remains annoying, but with them closed the aft
cabin is virtually uninhabitable.
I hadn't run either the
engine or the genny for a couple of days previously. I ran both the
engine and genny this morning for half an hour and took out the wall of the cabinet to have a look at the
exhaust pipes (they are fibreglass behind the bulkhead) to check for
leaks. There are no
leaks and the smell doesnt get worse when they are running nor does it go away when they are stopped. Ive also put a smoke and CO
alarm in the cabinet and closed the door but it hasn't gone off.
There is no smell in the adjoining engine room or the transom where the pipes exit.
So does anyone have any pointers on what might be going on?!
