I just found something to like about my ¾ ton special. I have a deck hatch on the gunwale aft of the cockpit that is big enough to let me get right down into that space behind the engine. I can get to everything in there without performing any circus tricks or cutting anything. I am not familiar enough with the layout of the 33-1 to offer much assistance except this: The reason your exhaust hose loops up before attaching at the tail pipe is to create a siphon block. You should plan the same for your new hose. Best of luck!
Burt 1974 C&C 33 ¾ ton special Portsmouth, RI (still searching for a good name) From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of Rod Randow via CnC-List Sent: Wednesday, November 12, 2014 1:53 PM To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Subject: Stus-List Exhaust hose replacement for 33-1 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.
