During his 20 minute tour (and instructional demonstration) of my boat this weekend in Atlantic City, I asked Captain Rusty Higgins about this issue. Since Rusty was an invitee to our party and not technically "on the job," I politely refused his offer to pull panels in the port-side locker in the forward stateroom to check on the ductwork, as he explained the pathway of the cool air and how the plenum works inside the register in the stateroom. He suggested there may be a zip tie pulled too tight or a kink in the ducting, so this is something that bears investigation. Then he went over to Tim's Sneaker boat and started fixing something, then into the bilge of Impulse III's 410DA. Earlier that morning, he scrubbed the scum line of Sea Gull's boot stripe before Jeff woke up. The man cannot rest while he's tooling about Sea Rays, but he's a joy to watch!
