This is what happens when you OVERTIGHTEN CLAMPS! lol This is my exhaust hose outlet on my 165. Almost sank the boat! Luckily I heard the bilge kick in late August when I put her in the water. Was able to McGyver a solution then using clamps, silicone tape and some brute force. Didn't impede on boating season.
Well, I finally got the replacement parts today and went at it. Discovered I hard started to damage my resonator fittings too! I was able to reshape those with a heat gun. Removed the old hose outlet, cleaned up the 4200 and reinstalled the new one like a champ! Well, I think it was like a champ. Have yet to put it in water... lol Didn't even need the other extra parts I purchased in case I broke them along the way. Pretty happy to have this fixed and pretty proud of my work!
Now, nobody be mean to me!
