Engine room - holy garbanzo! My engine room is air cooled too, it's hangs
off of my transom.

An air cooled diesel genset? Where is it mounted, and how is it vented?

It's in the engine room, vented by a 10" duct system that dumps the
air outside the stern of the wheelhouse. During the summer with the
main running and the gen set running you can stay in the engine room
and be very cool. The blower is between the engine and the gen
windings, Its a cast iron squirrel cage type blower that is around 3
foot tall. I had to build custom duct work. The boat came from the N.
Sea were it is normally very cold so it use to just warm the engine
room. It's a great system.

I would think that water cooling would be a whole lot more effecient and
nicer to be around (although the raw water loop is a PITA).
