Stus-List Exhaust mixing elbow

Our 34 has the original Yanmar 3GM which is working like a charm. How does one tell if the mixing elbow is due for replacement??. Ours still has the original mixing elbow which we removed and inspected about 12 years ago. It was fine. Lots of water comes out the exhaust and engine

Rick, Did you buy access panels that were ready to install? If so, where? Sounds like a great improvement over the 6 inch access port I currently have there. I will be installing a boarding ladder this winter, and that would help a lot. Also for adjusting the tension in the steering cables

I decided to attack some long deferred maintenance and removed the teak grab rail that is on the forward part of the cabin top, port side. It looks like water has been getting into the screw holes and my wife says 41 years of natural look teak is enough. So I figured I could take the teak off,

Joe, I haven't removed Touche's cap rails so I don't know if the mounting pad is hollow or not. It may well be hollow. I would think about injecting spray foam into each hole. That will fill the hollow. Then using a bent nail in a drill, hollow out the foam 1/2 to 3/4 inch around each hole.

The originals were screwed in with wood screws. There should be access plugs in the liner, at least there was on Freya IV. Of course there is a problem if the originals are toothpicks. I think CC had them custom made for the 35 mk I. Current store bought do not line up with the original

I don't know about your boat, but on mine, the original handrails had machine screws embedded in them under plugs. They were snugged down by nuts that were accessible through a series of holes in the headliner that were normally covered by long trim panels. When I replaced the handrails, I

Mine were screwed in from below . I am trying to remember, I think 2 smaller wood screws went through the head liner into the rail, and a larger wood screw in between them went through the overhead rail . So, the lower handholds inside the cabin are held in place with one large screw,

I think you've got it. The elbow either rusts through or gets plugged. The rust is hard to avoid but the plugging can be avoided by blowing out the coke. By running the engine as hard ( 80% load) and long as possible, as often as possible. I have no idea when/if mine has ever been replaced by
