[Public-list] exhausted

[Finkenberg, Lincoln S.]

	I'm happily dumping my grey marine overboard after dumping good
$ after bad
	$ into it.  I've got probably 3-5 carbs (cast iron and
aluminum), an excellent
	alternator, and the exhaust sytem Roger ruminates about.  If
there's some
	poor fool who would like any of this for whatever they think its
worth - a
	days labor, case of beer, yankee tickets, etc.
	
	I replaced my asbestos covered exhaust system with an exhaust
sytem that
	cooled directly after the manifold and I believe is what Roger's
ins man is
	talking of.  There is a curly cue pipe (kindah like an upside
down U with a
	curved right angle to the manifold - truly a plumbers dream)
that attaches
	to the manifold. I presume the curly cue exhaust pipes works on
a diesel
	(i've not had the pleasure of calling boat US with a diesel) -
worst case
	you'll machine up the idential fittings to whatever dimension
your lovely
	manifold desires.  At the top of the upside down U water spits
into the
	exhaust pipe (it thinks it cooling it - my hands disagrees) -
finds it way
	behind the engine and probably half way under the cockpit sole -
to you'll
	never guess - a plastic container.  Its some sort of vacuum/trap
concept -
	water in but not back to the engine. Same concept as the upside
down U
	(water down but not up and into the engine).  In any event I can
say with
	complete honesty and disdain that that exhaust system never
failed me (nor
	did boat us tow teams).   And would recommend both the engine
and the
	exhaust sytem to anhy individual with like tow insurance.
