Rusted Exhaust Pipe

[Poolman]

I'm sending pictures and such to Dave this week and he is going to design the system.I will post it as soon as I see it!!

 

[Buoy]

I actually LOL for that one!

 

[Poolman]

So, I'm back to the drawing board. Dave at Green Water Marine Exhaust has decided that he did not want the job. He did suggest that if I were to build the same exhaust that I might try to contact the folks at West Coast Insulation and have them manufacture a some heat protection for the exhaust (http://www.wcinsulation.com/insulation-solutions/heat-protection). What do y'all think????

 

[Ratickle]

Did he say why?

 

[Ratickle]

And I'll have some updates when I get home.

Poolman,
David Rank from CMI will be able to help you out with this. He can be reached at 920-722-7084.

 

[Ratickle]

Hey Chris, thanks. The followup is certainly appreciated.

I chatted with Chris for awhile at the show and told him what the problem on your boat was and that I would get back to him with a link to this thread. I guess he got tired of waiting for me and took care of finding the thread himself and checking it out. (He hasn't yet commented on my mad sketch skills though).

Chris at the show.



One of their items on display at the show which would be slightly similar to what is needed to fix your system.

 

[Poolman]

Sorry for the delay in responding. I really appreciate yall keeping me in mind. I will give Davis a call in the morning and update the thread with the news. The time for speed and sun is is almost here!!

You say that cause you're in Florida. Our lake may thaw by June if we're lucky this year. The low forecast:

Well Ratickle, seeing you had asked..... Very nice rendering!! All good things start on a bar napkin!! Keep them coming!!

Poolman, Not sure if you talked with David today, if not feel free to contact me at 920-886-8237, my direct line.

 

[Ratickle]

Thanks, (but you shouldn't tell fibs!).

 

[Ratickle]

Getting anywhere?

 

[Poolman]

Nope. Called David a few weeks ago and re-sent him pictures (I had reached out to him in August 2013) and I'm still waiting on a return call. I can't believe this is so difficult. A guy would think that folks who are in this business would be busting down the door to make this exhaust. So far that has not happened.

 

[Ratickle]

Call Chris at the number he gave above.

 

[Poolman]

Spoke to David yesterday. His quote 8K !! UUUUGGHHHH.....

Anyone wanna buy a boat? I need to find another option. Shes a cool boat but I think I'm heading into ridiculousness.

 

[Ratickle]

Yep, that's a bit high for what you have. It would be cheaper to replace the headers with wet-headers with downturns and then use the current tee's with the water in them. Two sets of new lightnings would be about half the 8G.

Did you get my email?

 

[rschap1]

Again...maybe see if the cams dictate the need for headers.
If not return it towards the stock manifolds and set up.

 

[Ratickle]

The stock one was one heck of a mess too. I think some of his pieces actually came from the original stock system.

 

[fund razor]

Ok, how about Gils as the manifolds and the gil tails, which mix pretty far back and down, and use the end of the mixed tail as the starting point for a fabricated single wall tube Y and elbow.

 

[Ratickle]

Does anything here seem close? I also chatted with Letty from Stainless at the show but thought Chris had you handled.
