I just had my atomic rebuilt and the mechanic installed the biggest exaust he could fit. Unfortunatly, the spot he chose (which I beleive was the only spot that would allow that size tank) is under the fridge. If I motor for any length of time, most of my food ends up with a nasty exaust after-taste. Am I alone on this one?

Doesn't sound right

That doesn't sound right at all and could be dangerous. There should be no leakage of exhaust fumes inside the boat. You need to do something to make it right immediately.

Bob's right

Dangerous

Sounds like you've got a leak in the system. This is very dangerous and has the potential to kill. Get it checked right away! Carbon Monoxide is odorous and tasteless. It accumulates and settles into low spots such as boat cabins and will cause death very easily. It takes away your lungs capacity to absorb oxygen. If you are smelling or tasting exhaust fumes, carbon monoxide is there....
