CD27 - Exhaust smell below deck

Post by csoule13 »

First off, when your mechanic calls and says "So, were you planing on replacing the exhaust manifold? It has a bit of a hole in it, I'll send you pictures" you know you're in for a fun day.

Regardless, the source of the exhausty smell below deck is now identified and en route to being fixed(basically new everything from the exhaust manifold to the stern output). Now, any tips on removing that delightful smell of exhaust from the boat? I figure anything cloth is saturated in it. Not sure how to tackle hard surfaces, though.

Big tip of the cap to Zimmerman Marine at Herrington Harbor for not just doing the work I requested, but poking around a little as well.
