I have noticed that the engine cover of my Tartan 34 c becomes very
very hot, especially when the engine has the indigio prop and is running
around 180 degrees for several hours. I keep the exhaust fan running all the time, but the
top access cover becomes so hot that it is almost too hot to touch..
There is foil lined insulation on the interior of the cover.
The engine is located in the very center of the main salon on the
Tartan 34C. My solution has been to keep the cover off. This system
has been used on the boat for many many years, but only recently
have I kept the engine running for many hours at 180 degrees.
Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks
