I just cleaned the exhaust elbow on a Yanmar 2GM on a 29 MK? for a client for the second time in 3-4 years.  I have other friends with Yanmars who have never had to clean the elbow. This 29 rarely motors longer than from the slip to the harbor entrance and back.  The other boats sometimes motor

Dennis: Questions: When you say "you cleaned the exhaust elbow", was it only the 'U' shaped piece you took off to clean or did you remove the whole assembly via the 4 bolts from the exhaust manifold? If it was only the actual 'U' shaped mixing elbow, how did you remove it from the 'coupler'

Dennis, Unless he is revving the engine at some point, carbon is building up and never getting blown out. The Yanmar procedure for shut down on my 3GM is to idle for 5 minutes, then rev the engine to full throttle for several seconds before returning to idle and shutting down. Joel 35/3 On Fri

Bob, (and Joel) Seems to validate my suspicions.  I'll copy that info and send to the owner. BTW, looking up into the elbow may not show the pluggage.  I usually find the pluggage is more in the small elbow where the water enters.  It's also in the "cup" in the upsweep side of the mix elbow wh

Bob, I removed the whole assembly.  The main passage of the "U" shaped piece (mix elbow) was clear. Here's the whole deal.  First I cranked the engine to verify no water discharge.  Then I pulled the manifold water hose from small elbow.  Seeing flow there, I knew the pump, heat exchanger, man
