[C320-list] AquaLift Muffler Replacement

[Walter Schaffer]

Sean, I too am interested in what you find as a replacement or repair. I'm pulling my muffler this winter for the 3rd time to fix another leak.WaltBohemian II, #515, MD

Sean,
I don't know the number but when ours fails I will also want to go with an
off the shelf part.
The last one I replaced was in a 1980 30' Sabre.  I remember taking some
measurements and then looking through the catalogs till I found one that had
all the dimensions that would work, wasn't that hard.
Let us know how you make out.

My AquaLift muffler on my 1998 C320 has a leak that has been determined to
be "unrepairable"... or at least not "reliably repairable".  I understand
Catalina can provide a replacement if I mail this one back to them. But I
also understand that some people have installed the Vetus muffler, which
sounds more reliable at this point.
 
Does anyone know the exact model Vetus muffler that fits in the C320 and
works with the Yanmar 3GM30F motor?
 
Thanks!
 
Sean
