Gary: What's your boat?
Mine is a 32 and I did not have to crawl under the cockpit sole.....I did have to get into the engine compartment via the port lazarette to access the muffler connection and push the new hose back alongside the starboard hull to the transom where it loops up and goes down to the thru hull. I had to take the propane locker out to access that thru hull.
If it starts leaking, you have no choice but to replace it. Rob Abbott AZURA C&C 32 - 84 Halifax, N.S. On 2014/01/24 8:36 PM, ahycr...@cox.net wrote:
Rob Yes I am talking about the hose from the muffler to the stern and that is my next project. I just can't see how I can get all the way to the back of the boat under the cockpit sole . I think it is just to small for me to wiggle al the way back there to undo it from the fitting. As for the hose, this stuff is probably original making is 37 years old. If I use the same stuff and it only lasts 30 years this time well I'll be 93 years old. Every hose I have will probably be broken.

Mine was probably original, 1984, probably 26 years old when it just showed signs of leaking from the inside out. A little seawater won't matter, but CO would be problematic when motoring. You should have, at the very least, marine grade exhaust hose, better yet a marine grade hard walled hose. The 'hard walled hose' is for a good reason.....it won't collapse. That's what I used. I replaced mine before I had the problem. Rob Abbott AZURA C&C 32 - 84 Halifax, N.S.
