Re: Amel's suggestion to run the Volvo D3-110 (A54) daily while on passage
Hi Danny,
So do we have a flap valve somewhere in the system? I thought it was supposed to be at the muffler. Do we have one at the exhaust exit thru-hull?
If not, should we?

Thank you Gary for your reply. I hope the marina faired well following the earthquake. It will take some time for the mainlanders to get back to life as usual. We decided to go with DC batteries out
