    A new drawing might be best.

    That is a pretty large volume bucket (waterlock), but might be accurate. Could be reduced by only lifting up and not on a hypotenuse?

    Anyhow, the Vetus diagrams are extensive; have you found them? The Vetus buckets have places for overheat alarm sensors; although earlier seems better. Some have a muffler after the bucket which makes more sense to me for spaces around the engine. One muffler was even after the gooseneck which means its volume is not in the bucket.

    An idiot can only take you so far.

    Thanks Jeff - will check that link now - and we had zero reaction to the Pfizer boost - so totally flash now except that I still have a year's work to finish this boat
    Best wishes
    Michael
