T&T: Exhaust

[Ken Williams]

I had dry exhaust on my Nordhavn 62.

Upsides are:
- Allegedly better for the engines
- Simpler system, less to go wrong
- Uses less space in the engine room

Downsides are:
- I had major problems with sooting. More than once I had to pay for
adjacent boats in the marina to be cleaned
- I haven't verified this, but have been told dry exhaust generates more
heat in the engine room
- Lose space both in the salon and in the pilot house

I'm currently waiting on a new boat, and went with wet exhaust, primarily
because we wanted the extra space in the salon, pilothouse and on the fly
bridge.

 Has anybody tried dry exhaust?
 I had a friend years ago eith a boat that had
stacks coming up through the pilot house and into
the air overhead.
