We have an old camper turned fish house and it has a heater in it. The piping that exits the house has one little pipe surrounded by a bigger pipe. I think that the bigger pipe is the air intake while the small one in the middle is the exhaust, right? We have been having problems with wind getting in. The original set up just had a grate flush with the outside covering the pipes. Then we used a half piece of stove piping covering it from the wind. Well, that works alright but i want something better so the pilot doesn't flutter in the wind. I tried attaching three inch stove pipe to the middle pipe and had a 5 foot vertical exhaust pipe. and then covered it all with a roof flashing. Well the tall pipe creates to much of a chimney effect and sucks too much of the heat out, and it also prevents air from getting in to the intake. So I'm trying to think of way to do this. I've seen on other houses people have mushroom shaped exhaust/intakes. Do you think one of those would work? and where can i get one? thanks for any help at all.
We have bought a new boat, which we will be picking up this spring. It is an Alumacraft Competitor 165 sport with a 90 horse Yamaha
motor. I will be buying and installing a trolling motor, wondering if I can get some recommendations on what pound thrust I will
want for this boat? Also, I will be selling my old boat, is there a good way to determine the value on an older boat ( mid-80's with a 75 horse 2-stroke
Mariner motor) I will appreciate any help with these questions.
I went ahead and watched some of the MLF coverage. Wheeler didn’t make the cut but the bigger story was the Poche/Avera fallout.
Kinda funny listening to both sides of the story and putting together the scenario, reading between the lines.
