Thanks for your input Al. I like the way you kept it clean, using the available exhaust flange screws. I'm not sure what I'm going to do yet, but will probably follow Scan Marines instructions. I wasn't sure from your summary whether you knew it's made a difference in reducing incidents for...

Our stove was back drafting exhaust into the cabin yesterday. I called Scan and Doug suggested it was a combo. of boat speed and or wind. I agreed that I was in quite windy conditions. He suggested a cowl vent placed at the front edge of the exhaust opening would solve the problem. He said to...

Ahhh, thanks! That helps a lot. I was confusing drybunk with hypervent, it's the hypervent I want, or something like it, though drybunk might be a good spacer over the hatches. Drymesh looks similar to hypervent, but I only found it available in the UK. Any good local sources? Looking online...

For anyone actually using drybunk, do you like it? I've taken our mattress out with a plan to shave the foam in half, replace 2 inches with memory foam and stuff it back in the case. I see the berth foam has a slight discoloration, probably due to moisture. Also, Tom is adding storage hatches in...

Pat and Patty, Not to make light of your pain — we've had our own issues and know emotions can run high — but what we're wanting to gather here is data. We are guessing your stove is a 95 like ours, based on when you bought Daydream. How has your stove been running after the service you...

Hi dutch123 Did you contact Scan Marine to trouble shoot? Do you have the fix yet?

Our 99 boat came with a new Wallas 95DU which worked well initially but has been unreliable in recent years. We use it occasionally throughout the year and for a few weeks we use it daily, from 4 to 9 hours a day. We have used clean fuel and have serviced the stove ourselves until recently when...

Thanks for your kind responses. It's really gratifying as we've burned ourselves out on it a time or two. Or three. We have absolutely no technical writing background, limited mechanical experience and this is our first manual. We're just following in the footsteps of you who've already offered...

On remote and weekend trips alike, we depend on our Wallas to keep us warm and cook our food. While we also take a back-up backpacking stove and mini propane heater, we would rather be using the Wallas. We needed to get over our fear of some of the basic maintenance issues. Here is a record of...

Never thought of using a pressure cooker but I'll bet it will work great on the Wallas. Didn't even realize you could bake with one. And I'm so impressed that you guys are baking! Serious brownie points, no pun intended. The GT Xpress sounds interesting Pat, but don't you have to plug it in...

Called Scan Marine yesterday and got some critical info. I now know that country western song 'Lookin in all the wrong places' regarding location of the bottom mat. It is in the dome shaped portion of the combustion chamber which is accessed by removing the radiation element that is within the...

Al, Once I get the stove back in to the cabinet I may be able to see if the glow plug can be replaced without removing the stove. It would be nice if it works. After taking everything apart that I could, removing both fans, even taking off the circuit boards, I couldn't figure how to access the...

Boris, The document is in the LIBRARY under DOCUMENTS and is called WALLAS SERVICE DOCUMENT. Click on that and you can download the pdf which is called: Wallis service.pdf (yes it is a creative spelling, one of many). The pdf shows great detail pictures of the glow plug. Our stove has only one...

Thanks for the quick response pete. I've been putting 3-5% alcohol, 99% type, with no.1 grade kerosene for a couple years now. I thought that was the best upgrade from diesel at the time. I'm on my 2nd 5gallon can from Hm. Depot using approx. 1per yr. I treat the whole 5gal. can with alcohol...

We sent a message to Pete on Adeline and he suggested we post the conversation for everyone. So here's our message plus his answer: Just returned from a week of boating and though it didn't totally fail, I'm having problems with the Wallas. It was real mind rot. To start I always had to have...

This weekend at Cathlamet I baked blueberry muffins on the Wallas on Amy and John’s boat, just for fun. Worked perfectly! Here’s how: Get yourself a dutch oven. We’ve had this one for 15 or 20 years and now it’s always on our boat except when we bring it in the house to fry fish: Combo...

Cathlamet was great as always! Thanks Larry and Helen for making it so. C-Dory folks are the best... new and returning! I'd just met John & Amy when they invited me aboard and I stayed to make muffins on their Wallace. It's easy! I'll post a how-to soon, under baking, in the galley section...

I believe in making things easy when cooking on the boat and use Five Brothers bottled alfredo sauce, but any brand will do. The pasta is a bought fresh tortellini probably from costco or trader joes. Other pastas work well, too. Boil until just cooked. Add vegetables (I like to bring along...

We used to have a boat with shower and head, plus hot water, and I thought I'd miss it when we got the 22, but I don't. The porta potti works great. In some locations we use a bucket and you don't have to lug the potty out for night. I'm with the girls who take sponge baths. If we've access to...
