Eleven new members since the new year and only a handful of posts. We sure are a contented bunch. Even with the weather being bad for boating here there's still no inter- action. Maybe this site will turn out to be a sleeper that awakens once the threshold of Parker owners reaches critical mass : ) How many of you think that running a propane space heater in the pilot house is asking to be blown sky-high? Is there that much risk of igniting vapors from the built-in tank, or is propane leakage from the portable cylinder the main issue? I have never noticed any fuel vapors from the gas tank in the floor areas of the cabin, and I do get down on all fours and sniff regularly (old habits from my big boat days). There is a chance of vapors coming up through the floor drain hole so I plug that with a rubber stopper. The fuel filler hose chase is open to the cabin but is fairly high, so I don't think vapors are going to climb out of the bilge that far. Any ideas? Am I living too dangerously? I am getting somewhat tired of the continual Parker bashing found on another site. I go there for ideas to help support my boat use, not to be harangued by someone with a bent mind. If interested, please check out the small site featuring my 2120 at <a href="http://home.earthlink.net/~streagle/Frameset.html">http://home.earthlink.net/~streagle/Frameset.html</a> A new page will be added soon to feature my current prop search. I knew nothing about them at first, but am getting a fairly good education via the internet. | ||||
