Hi Matthew, If you have any diesel smell in the cabin you should probably take a look at your exhaust system.
I used to have an ever slight smell in mine then it got to the point where one day, my wife felt sick from being in the cabin while we were motoring for a while. The problem was a plugged-up / rusted exhaust elbow. There's no starboard access to my engine and the port side of the elbow looked fine. Unbeknownst to us, we had an "invisible" hairline crack / exhaust leak on the the starboard side. After removing the elbow off the engine to get a good look at it we took it out on the dock in the light of day. It took about 1 minute of examining the rust stain on the starboard side of the elbow to see the hairline crack: Yes indeed! Very small but scary raw exhaust leak in the engine compartment, Carbon Monoxide poisoning danger.... I replaced the riser / elbow / hoses. Never had a smell since. -Francois Rivard 1990 34+ "Take Five" Lake Lanier, GA < I run the blower on my boat (diesel engine) when I?m running the engine for an extended period of time as it cuts down on the diesel smell in the compartment (and, in turn, the rest of the boat).>
