[C320-list] Catalina Custom Exhaust Elbow

[Warren Updike]

Pat, I am interested to know how many hours you have on your Perkins, how
you typically run it (what rpm, ect.) and how often you change oil/filter.
Thanks

Since it seems as everyone keeps talking of the exhaust elbow 
problems I finally became concerned enough to pull mine. 1994 Perkins 
in fresh water.........nothing in it, must be good to be in fresh water.
