Rusted Exhaust Pipe

[Ratickle]

Something along this sketch. Your current system is cooling the headers with the water in the jacket. The fabricated elbow is also jacketed to cool the elbow. Then the water is dumped into the exhaust, approximately 10" away from the header and approximately 4" lower than the header and is inside the exhaust to cool the exhaust gasses so the entire system from there on never gets hot enough to cause any safety issues.

If a Tee is needed on the outside exhausts it would use the same principles. A 4" tee with hole drilled in it where the 5" tube is jacked over the first part of the Tee.

The 4" exhaust hose should be no more intrusive than your current wrapped dry exhaust. Maybe less.

And everyone else, help to fix what I've missed. And does anyone know where this elbow may be found instead of being a one-off build?

Did Mike Judge draw that?

 

[Poolman]

Nice!

Any questions at this point?

No, not really, except where did you acquire your mad engineering skills - The Key West Institute of Stuccoing and Snorkeling?

 

[Ratickle]

well, believe it or not, I used to draw cartoons with Matt Groening in high school. He stuck with it, I didn't.....


I still have some of my old sketches.....

I'm a crayon guy ,thank you:cuss:

 

[Ratickle]

Wow!

I probably have some of Matt's old cartoon doodles too. We had a lot of fun in our senior English class.

You guys are crazy!
So I contacted Dave, He is the person who made the exhaust fittings in the previous photos. Dave is very knowledgeable in this field and has agreed to build the exhaust fitting as suggested by "Ratickel". I will continue to post as this goes forward. Boat was painted today, so hoping to get all of this behind and see ya'll for the Destin, Fl. Poker Run !!! Pretty sure I owe "Ratickle" a few beers! Thank you for all of you insight and knowledge!!!

Yes, yes we are.

But also a tight-knit, good natured bunch of guys who enjoy helping other boaters. Hopefully you continue to participate in the forum.

Good luck with your boat!

You're just lucky that you owe Rat a "few" beers, you'd have to take out a small loan if you owed some of our southernmost residents a "few" beers.

I know that The Simpsons are based on his actual family, as well as many other characters.

Fess up Paul.
Were you Millhouse?:sifone:

On the outside exhaust, are you able to go with an elbow and tee or are you going with just tee's?

I doubt that one.....

I always thought Bart was our friend Barton (last name withheld to protect the innocent), but Matt says no, it's an anagram of brat.

 

[rschap1]

Millhouse?

And any questions you may have at all, ask. We will try to figure it out. I really think it will look fairly similar to that first diesel exhaust system picture.
