Heh. That's exactly what I did - it bypasses the muffler. I'd rather get the muffler repaired - just belt and suspenders about potential water intrusion, of which there's been none. I cut off part of the extension handle I had for the 6HP, which was way too long, anyway, and used that as my bypass. I'm not really worried about that, but I like the thought of that big can holding air instead of water to get inside the engine somehow. I checked very carefully before I started it the first time (manually turning over the engine two revs before applying the starter), and despite having had a very long, downhill tack (the water could have run into the engine) I've experienced no intrusion.

In or out of 'em, it doesn't matter. Nothing seems really to matter, that's the charm of it. Whether you get away, or whether you don't; whether you arrive at your destination or whether you reach somewhere else, or whether you never get anywhere at all, you're always busy, and you never do anything in particular; and when you've done it there's always something else to do, and you can do it if you like, but you'd much better not." _______________________________________________ Liveaboard mailing list [email protected] To adjust your membership settings over the web http://www.liveaboardnow.org/mailman/listinfo/liveaboard To subscribe send an email to [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] The archives are at http://www.liveaboardnow.org/pipermail/liveaboard/ To search the archives http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] The Mailman Users Guide can be found here http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/mailman-member/index.html
