This morning when I wrote my “mini tome” about mechanic actuated LPG valves, I thought about how much time I donated to this particular thread - all total about 3 hours. How many marine yards can design and build a mechanical actuated LPG valve let alone provide a written explanation. My guess is very few and a owner will pay dearly if a yard built and installed one.

These type of entries are routinely made at the BCC and FC forums by our members who give of their time freely, share their projects and post pictures. No, it’s not free, we help pay the bills by donations when we run fund raising campaigns. The BCC and FC forum knowledge base is a priceless resource to BCC and FC owners. I believe all the generous individuals who donated, did so, because their recognize the value of the BCC and FC forums.

The campaign is “officially” closed just $137.00 short of reaching the $2,000 mark.

Thanks to every one who donated.

Fair Winds,

My donation of $100 has probably not reached you yet, as it was mailed on Friday from Canada. Upon receipt, that will push the total to $1,963.

Rod, Thank you for spearheading this drive, and John Cole for hosting. I will send a check for $100 this week end to John. Sorry to be late as I saw the posting today. Also, I was cruising the West Coast from mid-December 2010 until late March 2011 in my land boat (a Suburban) and visited three favorite people companies. I plan to issue an update on the visits soon. I’ve been behind as I immediately started a work assignment upon return. Regards, Paul Achenbach, Tortuga

Stewart:

Thank you, thank you.

By-the-by, Yanmar makes exhaust risers in stainless steel, as well as bronze. I just found that out from Mack Boring (big Yanmar distributor) this weekend.

Got one Rod thanks, wouldn’t mind the contact details of the yanmar distributor though. The install of the new exhaust went easily, smoothly and expensively…at least it is now reliable.

Stewart:

Mack Boring is a large diesel distribution and parts company for Yanmar diesels.

I do not believe they sell directly to the consumer, hence one must go through a dealer.
