Engine Exhaust System


One of the many things going on in the last few months has been the setting up of the wet exhaust from the engine. Components include :
Mixer, at exhaust manifold, which mixes the exhaust gas with the salt water used to cool the engine heat exchanger, oil coolers, and refrigeration.
Water-lock/muffler, under the floor, not in the photo.
Goose neck, upper left in photo.
Exhaust through-hull, upper right of photo.
Various flexible pipe and couplings to tie it all together.

As yet not all components are connected as I want to get several more coats of paint on the through hull.

Once the exhaust is all in place, the portion above the engine bay will be enclosed in a cabinet that will form the internal helm station and it's associated steering, instruments, switches, fuses and controls.
