Why is it so?

^ has me baffled why the crab fishing boats that ice up so bad they look like huge bergs - don’t radiate their heat or pipe their exhausts via railings and similar to keep the ice at bay...it can take workers days and days to smash ice from their boat.

Leak means carbon monoxide, or a burn to the skin in warmer weather.

CO is a real problem with enclosed spaces. Saw something on the news a few years ago, 2 blokes out West had a generator in a cellar and ended up killing them. Next bloke comes down to see wtf is happening and it kills him, too.

Possibly not enough waste heat ?
I reckon they would run secondary coolant discharge out through a deck hose to reduce ice on exterior deck surfaces.
That damn cold they would already be using secondary heat exchangers [like the heater core in a road vehicle] to keep the wheelhouse and crew spaces liveable ?

Air cooled VW engines had exhaust heat exchangers to provide cabin heat, engine cooling fan moved the air but if either heat exchanger got corrosion perforated [and at high mileage they did] you would get carbon monoxide in the cabin.

I recall that after removing the connecting duct hoses a couple of cut down coke cans could be riveted to the heat exchanger outlets and tennis balls sealed the cab side

I once drove a so modified Kombi ute from Winton to Melbourne at night in June, 200 km with a bloody sheet of tin and windscreens between occupants and not much above zero outside !

Those boats have their engines inside hull / confined room and exhaust is close to cabin - surely the Co2 would be Less dangerous vented outside and in hot weather - they could have a flapper valve to direct Exhausts back via normal routing...I dunno, was just a passing thought watching it one day lol...Even a few degrees would be enough to save many man hours of breaking ice...it must get stupid cold to have sheets hanging off rails.

Those old VW air cooled engines tho - so bloody well designed eh? 4 bolts and engine out - a monkey could work on them and they are probably all still running...somewhere.

Dunno bout that--not if stories ive heard were/are true.

Ive heard many stories about cracked heads for heat reasons along with many tales about constant overheating issues . Having said that, ive absolutely no personal experience with those cheap porche's (as claimed by some people)..

Not my two chain saws they both have good compression heaps of torque ......

How do you find your 261 deye243...?

I have one, upgraded the bar one size up & doesnt hinder it too much.

But overall, i love the machine--rekon its a bloody rip snorter as a firewood saw...!
