I just want to post a update on the change out of the gearbox cover... I noticed on one of my searches on the web that there are 3 types of gearbox covers.

Two of which have no tube and one with tube and cap for the Atomic $... It was mentioned on a post from a fellow Afourian that I was trapping the gases and that I have not dealt with the problem.

Well I'm happy to say along with my better half.... we are totally enjoying the adventures on the water without all that smoky smell and at times thick smoke permeating the cabin.

The lingering smell would give me a headache when we turned in for the night.

After a day out on the water both under sail and power... the cabin environment is a lot less toxic with the change out of the gearbox plate.

I'm glad I did... no regrets and the engine is running fine.

Thank you for all your input all!!

Cheers and happy sailing!
