The output of the exhaust elbow on my 1978 YSB12 is threaded on the inside to fit 1 1/4 inch iron pipe, and appears to have been done that way as part of the original installation. The engine installer must have threaded the elbow, since I never heard of them coming that way from Yanmar, but I don't know that for certain. The threads mate with a short nipple, followed by a 90 degree elbow, and then a copper pipe thread to soldered copper pipe adapter fitting instead of a hose barb. This is followed by a foot or less of hose that goes straight to an aluminum can style water lift muffler. All of the above was closely wrapped in asbestos header tape and secured with monel seizing wire spaces about 3/8 of an inch. It would have been a very sharp bend in the hose without these extra fittings. I would never have known what was under the asbestos wrap except that the 90 degree elbow eventually rotted through at the bottom where a little puddle of water sat when the engine was shut off. I really can't complain about the design since it took over 30 years to fail, but that copper part still seems odd. Anyway, if you have or have access to a 1 1/4 inch pipe thread tap, you could tap the inside of the outlet pipe and install a conventional galvanized or bronze hose barb. The stock elbow for your engine should be the same as mine, without the internal threads.

Finishing reinstalling my Yanmar 2QM15 in my 30-1, I need to connect the official Yanmar mixing elbow (OD 1.5") to the orig equipment metal muffler tube (OD 1.25"). Anyone have a handy source for a suitable adapter? I have high temp radiator style hoses in both ID sizes. The P.O had a bizarre collection of hardware store galvanized pipe connecting a homemade elbow to the muffler. The pipes always leaked a little. I'm trying to get back to something resembling the original setup.....
