Well as previously stated compliance and safety are my number one considerations, I already discussed the ventilation requirements with my previous inspector so I have implemented those changes already, cost is obviously a large factor in this as the boat in question has various age issues, as well as a particularly dry and damaging decent of the Rochdale to recover from. I have access to a more modern oven that would certainly be compliant but is enormous for the galley room I have. If the smaller oven is fitted with the required safety measures that would be ideal, but failing that if a safe and compliant modification cannot be made I suppose its a new oven

Thank you that was a very informative post, does this mean any items fitted that come under the regulations imposed by the bss but have not been validated automatically invalidate the bss ? I want to comply fully with the current safety regulations as I hope to one day re sell this boat and would like to make sure she is a more worthy vessle now than when she came to me

OK guys amazing information as always, I am going to my storage yard today I will pull the old oven out and get to looking at it take some pictures and find the manual and get back to you. Iam wondering now if its possible to add one to the existing oven as a bit of a resto mod, I know that's excessive but boat restoration on a budget means thinking outside the box right plus vintage style modern safety is pretty cool imo

How do I check that ? Would that be installed inside of the burning "compartment" or on the exterior of the unit perhaps?

I have a gas hob and grill at the moment but want to upgrade to an oven for more cooking flexibility . I have an old working flavel oven from many years ago and I was wondering if these were still BSS compliant or if they were lacking modern safety valves and what not. Got a few years left on my bss so don't want to put the effort in just to find it makes my boat fail. Thanks in advance Mike-T

ok so what i am hearing is no. OK well excluding directly using computer control to manage the engine, what about using automotive sensors connected to a micro controller (arduino) to provide quantifiable data on the mechanical adjustments and upgrades I am applying, for example oil temperature, exhaust gases, engine speed, throttle position, that sort of thing. I want to be able to squeeze as much life out of the old girl as possible and I was hoping some automation in the data processing might be worth while. Thanks for the fast replies I will certainly be looking into the above information. I can take a look at the engine next week and find out some more about it.

hi there everyone new user, just looking into the possibility of adding an ecu or electronic tuning box/equiptment for my boat engine bmc 2.2 , i have experience with some landrover tdi tuning boxes, not a full ecu or remap but it gives you some options on effecting fuel effeciency and engine output. i was wondering if there was anything like this for the bmc engines, obviously being a vintage engine i know my options will be minimal and i would have to fit a number of sensors myself, iam just curious if there are any enthusiast engine management systems out there that you guys know off. thanks in advance, Mike_T
