[C320-list] Exhaust Elbow

[Karl Mielenhausen]

I am looking into doing this myself as a preventative measure before we go
to the Bahamas.
In my research, I have found a substitute mixing elbow for $100 less.
Google "HGE3520" to find a supplier near you.
For example.....http://www.ebasicpower.com/p/HGE3520/HGE3520.html
