My Perkins 4-107 managed to eat its way through a steel exhaust coupler - the water part of the wet exhaust flooded the engine room enough to float the coolant overflow jug into the pulley, causing the most blood curdling screeching you can imagine. Quite exciting.
The exhaust hose is looking pretty tired (35 years), and since I have to take apart so much to get to the coupling, I'm going to replace the hose too. But I noticed that the the first part of the hose is a different size, smaller. There is about six feet of 2-inch, from the engine to an elbow, at the high point, then 2 5/8 for twenty feet, out the transom. Is there some reason for this? It's more than a ยต - difference, and less than a M-difference :>} Arild, I see you are posting - where are you??
