Follow up to my loud hissing sounding exhaust. Raw water system good, flow at
end of heat exchanger going into the mixing elbow strong. Looked inside of
mixing elbow, no blockage(aided by flexible fiber optic scope). I didn't want
to run the engine with exhaust hose off of the elbow. figured it would make a
sooty kind of mess in the engine compartment. So I've decided the lift muffler
must be the culprit. Outside jacket showing some spots that look like its
rusting thru from the inside out. Perhaps inside baffling is deteriorating and
causing blockage? In any event looks like a potential fill the boat with water
issue. As I stated earlier the engine runs ok, no overheat condition, didn't
really notice lack of power.Any other thoughts? Looks like Defender has some
good prices on veralift units. They also have a Vetus model twice the price
looks like its a composite material.Listers any experience with either?Thanks
as always.JimGalaxy 34'Brielle NJ
