Currently our wet
exhaust goes
overboard on the port side, adjacent to the
helm. On a windy day this can be quite a problem, as you can imagine, and the
cockpit passengers are usually soaked with
water after a short while. My plan is to move it to the stern. Our
boat was originally equipped with a
diesel heater that was in the lazarette, which no longer exists so there is now room for the
exhaust.
The length should be about the same, as currently the hose runs forward from the
muffler to the front of the
engine room, under the
galley, then aft again and up to the gooseneck. The attached image shows the proposed
route.
We have 2-3/8 mixing
elbow and thus all of the wet exhaust line is 2-3/8 as well as the centek
muffler. My first point of worry is that looking online this muffler says it is rated for up to 25 HP
diesel, we have a 75 HP diesel!
Admittedly this hasn't been a problem thus far, but is it something worth looking into further? Some of the Vetus sales literature makes me think I need about $1000 worth of
equipment.
