    Installing a FAE this week. Talked to a local muffler shop and they can fabricate one out of 3 1/2 " stainless for about $300. Kiddos are doin fine today have to go back for a check up tomorow.

    pardon my ignorance, but when the boat isn't moving, how does an FAE help? Does just bubbling the exhaust through the water absorb a significant amount of CO? Glad the kids are ok. I grew up on outboards, so it's just second nature for me: if there's anybody in the water at the back of the boat, it's shut off.

    Pretty sure that this is about what the actual FAE costs. Why not buy it from a guy that has tested and worked the bugs out? Plus sends you everything that you need to mount it?

    Man that is scary. Just brought an old Supra home and I am thinking FAE is the next thing on the list to buy.

    Glad to hear your kids are fine.

    Post #4 .... There is a group buy going on on the Moomba site ($50 off). I would let them know ASAP. The cost is more than $300, though.

    The data that I'm aware of is that Catalytic converter equipped engines have 99% reduction in CO levels. AFAIK unless you're doing something really stupid you're not going to get CO poisoning on a cat boat. With the nanny state we now live in, I'm actually shocked they haven't been mandatory for some time now.
