Has anyone replaced the muffler on a Beneteau First 42? Seems impossible!

I had some cooling woes and it appears I just keep working myself stern replacing items. It started when one of the bowman endcaps sprung a leak on my Perkins 4.108. After replacing it I noticed on...

Re: Replacing old wet exhaust hose.

How did the project go? It appears the muffler on our Beneteau F42 has developed a leak and is in need of replacement.

Re: The 'Spartan' Cruiser . . .

The primary goal would be having fun while racing. To camp cruise it would just be a bonus.

Re: Hose Clamps

That's fascinating but I suspect not ABYC certified. And not reuseable? Not sure it's something I would want to deal with in remote areas.

Pretty neat for sure.

How would you proceed with this exhaust hose issue?

I just replaced the cast iron mixing elbow on my Perkins 4.108. Now I appear to have a mix mash of sizing and since this high temp silicone hose isn't exactly cheap I am looking for some feedback.

Re: South Florida boats - How often are you cleaning your bottom / painting?

Interesting. Seems like a winner for me. I'll have to keep that in mind.

Re: South Florida boats - How often are you cleaning your bottom / painting?

Thanks. The divers are the ones really pushing for 2 weeks and I always try to push back. We did 2 coats as well. Feels like there are two trains of thought where if you keep it clean it lasts longer...

South Florida boats - How often are you cleaning your bottom / painting?

Long story short, my Dad passed away in 2021 and I am taking care of the boat now. Between 2010-2021 we always painted the bottom every 2 years. The boat definitely got more use when he was around...
