Exhaust loop on Albin 36

[harlie]

WE have had a problem with the valve on number 6 cyclinder. The mechanic states it was sea water that was the problem. He looked at the exhaust system and thought there should be a exhaust loop after the water lift. Has anybody else had problems with this and has anybody put in a loop. Thank you

I do not have a loop. The waterlift muffler has a tall outlet then the exhaust hose is a long slightly downhill run to the transom.
What kind of shape is the wet elbow in? Has that been breeched?

[harlie]

Wet elbow great shape but water lift comes out of the top with a 90 elbow and then runs in to the exhaust. Thinking about cuting it off and then fiberglassing in a longer section. Then a 90 degree down to rest of line. A very sligh grade. Another boat here had the same problem and got water in his engine.. Ours has a flap rubber at the end but his has nothing.

Mine rises maybe 18 inches out of the muffler. Something like that.
I have no flap on the outlet.
