100% correct.
(And Smokes previous comment about having a fume detector in his bilge area should also be taken to heart. It's cheap insurance, and just another layer of safety, along with the blower and the vents). As I said earlier..an ounce of prevention......

If God didn't have a purpose for us we wouldn't be here, so
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.

Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
