Re: Hot day working in the engine room? Crank up some air conditioning!
I used the main AC vent in the cabin (circled below). It has metal vanes that direct the air flow, and I clipped the duct to one of the vanes. It's not like I was trying to capture all of the air coming out of the vent. I just clipped it on there. It took me maybe 60 seconds to set it up.
I normally use a fan, but having actual cold air was a huge improvement.

Re: Is there a better windshield wiper arm?
Mine can be hit or miss. Not always that great. the real problem is if water gets splashed up (instead of it being rain water), it has a little salt that just doesn't wipe off well. I need to add a fluid reservoir with a spray

I have this smoky picture as well. Some steelhead I caught on the Cowlitz River a few miles from home.

Hot day working in the engine room? Crank up some air conditioning!
I can't believe I never thought of this before today. Are you tired of working in a hot engine room? Run a cheap piece of 4" dryer ducting from your cabin AC vent into the engine room!
Today, I worked in the engine room from 6AM until 10AM. It was already miserable at 6AM. I got back around 2PM to start the task of replacing my 4" blower hoses. Said to myself, "Self, what if you used a binder clip to connect this ducting to the HVAC?"
My life as a boat mechanic will never be the same. And I hate the world for never informing me that this could be done.

Is this the spot you hide in to see if the neighbors are using the pool when you're not around?
