It's all good , just get a bilge blower fitted.

I can think of several bangs over the last few years on the river that would have been averted by one of these.

Nothing that can't be avoided with a little careful thought!

Or a gas build up from a leak to cooker etc. Its not just petrol engined boats that need a blower. If you need to buy one its called a bilge blower. If you have got one, you can call it a bilge sucker or whatever you fancy.

Pre NB we had a Sports cruiser with great big V8 petrol lump in and the blower in that seemed loud...well untill you fired up the engine,i miss that boyish feeling of sparking up that engine but not the fuel economy steve.
