[C320-list] Catalina Custom Exhaust Elbow

[Bruce Stumpp]

Has anyone on the forum had a new exhaust elbow made by Catalina?  If so,
what was the cost, results?

Walter, you have two options--you can send your current elbow to Catalina
and they will make you a new one. Unbelievably (especially for a production
boat), they don't have these on the shelf and apparently they are all
slightly different. 
The other option is to 'convert' to a yanmar standard set up, which are used
on newer hulls. If you buy a yanmar stock setup (from a Yanmar distributor),
you need to buy 3 pieces--the riser, a connector and the elbow. Be careful
though as most of the Catalina custom elbows are 1 5/8" and the standard
Yanmar is 2"? If you take this route, you have to adapt to your muffler
intake (where the hose attaches from the exhaust), which will match the 1
5/8" hose diameter. Hope this helps...
