Re: 12 Meter Express HUGE Access Hole
I would re-install them
If you scroll through my 13 meter upgrades" thread, it shows where I installed mine
Also if you have "dry" turbos, those puppies get way hot
Find a place to mount it, I installed 2 in my engine room, one on each side

Re: 12 Meter Express HUGE Access Hole
Hi I would definitely keep those access panels, do not seal them permanently I used 1/2" starboard for mine and just secured them with SS screws More importantly DO NOT remove the blowers from your engine room Like it was mentioned, air is very important with these big diesels I see you are in ...

Re: 13 meter upgrades
SHakedown cruise revealed a big exhaust leak on one side of the starboard motor right at the head and manifold, so I figured I just had to replace the gasket. Not quite that simple http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af233/dougnash/2782AE8A-FF85-4567-AC46-F56BE902C653_zps329fyoez.jpg http://i1011.ph...
