Kevin,

Phasor generators have a stainless exhaust elbow with the standard Kubota flange that is a horizontal orientation and can go right up close to a bulkhead. You might want to try them, although their parts tend to be pricey. $500 sounds like a lot for fabrication. You can make one up yourself as suggested out of pipe (I've done this on a Kubota and it works well), but try to use black pipe instead of galvanized. When heated, galvanized gives off some pretty bad fumes.

Where is your genset located on your boat? Ours is in the forward port locker and there is plenty of space to fit an exhaust elbow. Can your generator mounts be moved a bit to allow more room? Alignment isn't that important with a generator.
