The exhaust on the 32 open was changed in late 2004. The exhaust out the back was changed to below the water line with  pressure relief exhausts on the side. I had my boat converted by the factory at that time and it solved the problem which was a station wagon effect issue. Without the modification the boat does draw CO into the helm with the center windshield vent open. Close that window and the problem is less severe. Running with the drop curtain down and fully closed also keeps the fumes out.

SB1,
I'm not sure what you mean by "the exhaust on the 3200 open was changed after 2004".
My boat is a 2007 and the exhaust comes out the rear.
Can you clarify?
Thanks

I can try. My 32 was one of the boats built in the first year of the new model run. Although not exactly a warranty item, I called the factory and told them the boat was drawing fumes into the cockpit under certain conditions. After a while, a rep called me and said they were looking at ways to modify the exhaust, and if I would participate in the solution a factory team would modify the boat during winter lay up. We live close to the factory so this was pretty easy for all concerned. Underwater exhaust was installed and I payed for this at a somewhat reduced rate. The fix worked just fine for our boat although the factory may have made additional design modifications after my boat was completed. I was told at the time that the plan was to go to underwater exhaust on future 32 Opens. Maybe the change over occurred later than I was lead to believe. Hope this helps.
