I had a lot of fun reviewing the photos of this model that I had already seen but too quickly.
You are a master of RC modeling.
as build progressed.

Ps.
Sorry this should have been attached to the original post with the underbody build,but it’s not showing.
I will remedy later.
Sorry for the delay.
Please find attached a simplistic drawing of my fitting method.
As you can see I am not a qualified draftsman 🤭.
I started by shaping a circular section of 1/4”balsa to the internal diameter of the funnel.
Once happy with the position then I drilled a suitable hole and slid the smoker down taking care to ensure that there is at least 1/4” above the balsa.The top of the smoker does get WARM but NOT overly hot.
If the funnel top grill is plastic then even with the minimal heat it did warp a little so I replaced with very thin brass rod,looks better as well.
I then drilled our 1/32” holes in the balsa to allow air flow to disperse the gentle heat.and ensuring that the base of the funnel has holes for updraft.
Balsa then glued in,but smoker push fit for maintenance.
The wiring is a very simple set up.
From smoker to one side of switch which you must position wherever you can on your boat re deck clutter.
Make a simple loop circuit to the battery and back to the smoker returning to the switch.If you wish to put in an online fuse no problem. I must admit I didn’t.
You could of course go more complicated and do a circuit that incorporates your throttle control if you wish.
This really is a simple solution and works well.
I have tried to upload a video but the file is too large.
If you want more smoke the go for the higher voltage smokers of which here are many out there.
Hope this helps.

Sorry for the delay in reply.
I have updated the specifications.
Re the radar,I attach some pictures for you.
The motor is from EBay with a 50 to 1 reduction and fits just inside the radar housing.
The smoker is a Seuthe No 5 again from EBay,4/6. 6volts
If you have a tug dependant on size you may be able to fit a water nebuliser.
There are many other outlets.
Let me know if you need more info.

With regard to the colour of the smoke , the only way that you'll get black smoke is to burn something and get soot in the smoke just like the real thing. Even if you use a mister and put dye in the water you'll only get white smoke.
