Fired the Atomic 4 up today after installing the hot section of the exhaust. All ran well. I shut it down and went back through and and made sure all fittings and clamps were tight. Working at cleaning the boat tomorrow and will run the engine a bit more. |

Neil is correct, but after several hours it stops. I had trouble finding black iron the right size/length, so my most recent one is again galvanized. If you dont' already have it, I also recommend some of the heat wrap that Moyer sells.
When my first section failed, the wrap held the structure together well enough (while leaking some smoke/steam/exhaust) that I was able to finish my motoring and investigate the issue at my leisure in the slip instead of playing with crumbling metal at a remote anchorage. Keep everything well ventilated during this process!

Touching base
Hi all, just wanted to touch base and let you know the Atomic 4 is still running well after replacing the exhaust. Of course, I did a tremendous amout of other work also, not once, but in some case 3, 4 and 5 times.
Just thought I would say thanks again. I am trying to check in every once in awhile to see if I can answer any questions based on my limited experience. Hope you all enjoy the rest of 2016! Mike Singer Oceanside Harbor, CA |
