[Alberg30] Exhaust Pipe

Brian,

I  had mine apart years ago and if I remember correctly there was a "tent"
shaped piece over the top of the exhaust pipe that deflected the water
entering from the standpipe. The two sides of the tent deflected the water
and the "front"  and "back" of the tent allowed the exhaust to enter the
standpipe. This was a long time ago and I could be remembering wrong so I
am just telling you what I remember. Eventually the exhaust system did go
bad and was replaced, but I would rather still have the original system.

Hope this helps, or reminds someone else of more detail.

Regards,
