The water lift has already failed at least once, a repair has been attempted and it has failed too exactly as shown in the Catalina Direct link I posted earlier so it’s my opinion another repair attempt is ill advised. Please notice the title of my previous post (#6).
As for whether or not to replace the entire exhaust hose, there is no harm in doing so but I don’t think it’s necessary unless you have evidence of a problem such as excessive exhaust back pressure or visual endoscopic evidence.
