Re: smelly problum

I think he means exhaust. Mine does it too because of the low pressure air that gets formed behond the windshield. Opening the center window helps, but it is annoying. I haven't found a good solution yet. Part of my problem is having an old boat with a somewhat tall transom. Exhaust piles up behind the boat & then gets sucked up into the boat. My boat doesn't smoke at all.
