[C320-list] Cooling system

[kskis at aol.com]

I didn't replace but removed the aft end of the exhaust hose from it's through-hull, shortened it by 6" where it was getting cracked/brittle, then re-installed.  Might I suggest using a "multi-tool" to remove/cut off the old hose as well as cut the new hose.  Much easier than a hack saw, etc.  I also use the multi tool to do controlled, low-dust cuts in fiberglass, etc.  Neil Kornblatt,  #973 Harmony

I've been noticing what appears to be steam coming from the exhaust
discharge lately.  Asked the Yanmar rep at the Annapolis boat show, who
said I should replace the exhaust elbow, and do the hose to the Aqualift
muffler box at the same time.  Does that make sense to y'all?
Where's the best place to buy those parts?  Reading previous posts, I'm
assuming this is a job I can do myself.
