Hi Everyone!
I'm hoping to soon join you in the trawling community. Have been looking at a 1987 40 ft Marine Trader Sundeck with twin Ford Lehmans (turbocharged I was told) and I had an opportunity to do a short one hour run on her the other day. She handled well but seemed to be pretty noisy and there were a lot of fumes as we traveled. Were running at about 1800 rpm. I know the engine compartment is below the salon but is it normal to be very noisy? ... and fumey (is that a word)? Thanks for your advice!
