Thanks for the reply, Terry.
I intend to purchase a thermocouple or two so that I can monitor the
temperature in the vicinity of the regulator with the gills open and then
with them taped over, on the same day, to see what happens. If the gills
appear to be effective, I will still consider blanking them off but
replacing the stbd one with a small nacca inlet directed at the regulator.
Regards,
William
