The cast iron exhaust elbow that came with my "World Class" Northern Lights
genset rotted out in just a few years. If I were on the boat now I could tell
you how many years, but I was disappointed.

Philip, a few years ago I bought a boat sight unseen that had a diesel truck
engine in it. The marinizing was back yard, but worked. I had a problem with
the exhaust elbow that was home made with water injection in the wrong place,
so I took it out and went to my friendly tire store and I handed it to the
muffler guy and told him what I wanted changed and in about twenty minutes he
had made me a new one from exhaust pipe, welded on a piece of tubing for the
water injection and said "you are welcome". I buy a lot of tires. I don't run
that boat a lot, but it has held up incredibly well. I was expecting a season
maybe, but it's been several years. Point being, get creative, maybe weld some
iron pipe fittings or something together and you might be pleasantly surprised.
Just don't sink or burn up your boat.
