I'm thinking electrical conduit would work. Still more research. I do have some Aeroquip fuel line covering but not enough.fallguy1000 wrote: ↑Tue Jun 02, 2020 10:14 am I am using a diesel heater as well. How would one shield a diesel supply line?

Re: knottyBuoyz III The TW28 Project
Just some of the happenings around the boat shed.
1. Drilled hole in bottom for raw water intake. Back filled with epoxy, microspheres and milled fibers. Double later glued in place.
2. Working on dry fit of exhaust components.
Ordered some more parts to complete both the raw water intake and the exhaust. Tomorrow I'll locate the position for the exhaust out let and dry fit the Vetus Gooseneck etc.
Standby...

Re: knottyBuoyz III The TW28 Project
More progress on exhaust system.
Progress is steady but a lil' slow. Seem to spend a lotta time looking for parts I know I bought and searching the web for parts I need. Every marine supplier I tried in Canada couldn't supply the parts I needed so had to look south of the border. Which sux 'cause I'll get charged a brokerage fee.

How you keep the exhaust from rubbing on the bulkheads?

You mean on the penetrations? The Vetus installation instructions show them only being secured with zip ties. I'll probably build some stand off brackets isolated with some 1/8" rubber and stainless hose clamps. I'd like it to all be removable if necessary.fallguy1000 wrote: ↑Fri Jun 12, 2020 1:08 am How you keep the exhaust from rubbing on the bulkheads?

Yeah. It might vibrate is all and create some unwanted noise. Lot of that risk in my boat.Knottybuoyz wrote: ↑Fri Jun 12, 2020 5:16 amYou mean on the penetrations?

Re: knottyBuoyz III The TW28 Project
I was considering gluing and taping in the fiberglass 90's. Dunno how well that would work. Plenty of isolation of the pipe sections with hose connections.fallguy1000 wrote: ↑Fri Jun 12, 2020 7:35 am Yeah. It might vibrate is all and create some unwanted noise. Lot of that risk in my boat.

Re: knottyBuoyz III The TW28 Project
Got the tanks back from the fabricator yesterday. $$$ Anyhow all the mods I needed are good. Few days of dry fitting, cleats etc. and then some prep for paint in those areas.
