With the planning, designing and building of the galley underway, Patrick needed to address the on-going problem of the exhaust. The pipe runs from the engine, down the starboard side of the boat to the aft section and out. It will need to be boxed in as it will run behind all the galley cupboards. However, the end section of the exhaust pipe, that joins the outlet has always leaked. The leaked water has continually dripped onto the fixed block of the steering cable, causing rust and would also drip / leak into the new galley cupboards. Patrick gathered up the necessary bits - a new piece of exhaust pipe, a few new and improved clamps, some cutting instruments and a bottle of Baileys (for coffee).
It worked ……. successfully installed new exhaust pipe section - tested and approved.
