How does one know the proper direction to install the fiberglass mufflers. I have the manufacturer sticker being read from the front of the boat to the back. ------------- rhschnauss |

Does it have little louvers inside? Those should be pointing with the flow. ------------- “Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.” Ben Franklin |

A marine muffler comprises an elongate cylindrical housing having an inlet and an outlet and defining an internal volume partitioned, by an angularly disposed internal baffle, into a lower chamber in communication with the inlet and an upper chamber in communication with the outlet. A vertically disposed duct is insertably secured to the baffle to allow exhaust gas and exhaust cooling water to flow from the lower inlet chamber to upper outlet chamber. The exhaust duct may preferably be further adapted with internal structure forming a plurality of individual flow conduits or passages. The duct is preferably positioned such that a plurality of flow passage inlets are positioned in proximity to the lower cylindrical housing wall, with flow passage outlets positioned in proximity to the upper housing wall. The lower duct wall may further be adapted with sidewall apertures for improving exhaust flow dynamics therethrough. ------------- rhschnauss |

Chris, I've got a feeling that the description is copied and pasted from somewhere and RH forgot the quotation marks! The exact same thing crossed my mind when I read it. In fact, I had to read it a couple times - it sounds like a engineer with a law degree wrote it!!! ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

I belive the partitions are supposed to be at the 12 oclock position. ------------- "There is nothing, absolutely nothing, half so much worthwhile as messing around with boats...simply messing." River Rat to Mole |

its usually label up that is the important part of the installation, label down or towards the side prevents water from draining through acceptably.. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1477 - 1983 Ski Nautique 2001 1967 Mustang 302 "Decoy" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cO5MkcBXBBs - Holeshot Video |
