[Public-list] Propane Locker

[John Belt]

Has anyone noticed that when a displacement boat goes faster, it squats by
the stern, submerging any holes in that area that were just a little above
the waterline when the boat is at rest? Specifically, the engine exhaust on
my Alberg 30 was under water when the boat was moving at 6 knots, power or
sail.  That is why the muffler and exhaust pipe had to be routed to make a
loop as high as possible to keep water from entering the exhaust line and
the engine.


This would make it pretty hard to put ventilating holes in the hull for a
propane tank.
