I'm about to replace the leaking exhaust hose from my copper pipes to the transom exits flaps. Should this be fairly easy or is there something I should be aware of? Will the new ones seal right away with the hose clamps? Am I supposed to seal the metal thru-hull flange against the outside of the transom with some 5200 or just screw it in tight? Thanks for the tips... Kirk ------------- Kirk 1976 Southwind 20 Eagle Mountain Lake Fort Worth |

Kirk,
I didn't had to remove my flange but one of them was leaking so I sealed it with 4200. The hoses are tought, PITA. To get it out just cut the old one with a hack saw or dremell. I pretty much had to put mine at both ends and jump on top until they went in into the bilge. That was it for me. Soapy water helped. I used two hose clamps on each end. |

A reminder that this is a USCG reg for below the waterline. ------------- /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 < |

Kirk,
I had no idea this was a requirement, but I did put two clamps per end. |
