With all the talk about the 3/4 tons and the 33-1, how do you replace the
exhaust hose on the 33-1? Have any 33-1 owners had the exhaust hose
replaced?
I would like to replace the exhaust hose, muffler to transom, on my 33-1.
The issue is removing the hose from the “tailpipe” on the reverse transom.
There are two round inspection ports high up on the aft cockpit wall but
the distance from each to the hose clamps is probably four feet. Without
cutting new lower ports, the approach from the cockpit does not seem to be
a option. Cutting a large opening(s) near the cockpit floor is something I
would greatly like to avoid.
Approaching the hose clamps from the starboard cockpit locker (open space
from saloon bulkhead to transom except for enclosed port quarter berth) I
can barely reach the rudder quadrant and the clamps are probably another
3-4 feet further aft. Maybe removing the gas tank and rudder quadrant,
because the center section is deeper in this IOR narrow and pointy transom,
a very skinny person with long arms might be able to reach the clamps. See
diagram below.
Have any owners with a similar configuration had the exhaust hose replaced?
The exhaust hose actually makes a loop high up into this transom section
before exiting at the fitting. Any suggestions, tips, tricks on how to
remove the hose clamps and hose from the fitting are welcome.
