Well, the tiny leak in the hose between the hot section and the water lift muffle has become a stream, in spite of the 5200 slobbered all over. I suspect the muffler is a big part of the problem and that the hot section is due to be replaced too. So, it is probably time for a system rebuild.
Does anyone have any experience or opinions about using the Westerbeke exhaust riser, in place of the hot section, especially in a C30 with limited headroom in the engine room.
Rigspelt mentioned in another thread that the commonly used hot section probably was a cheaper alternative to the riser solution. Any other good reasons to go one way or the other? I don't mind spending a few more bucks, if it makes sense and works in my boat.
I assume the system will be manifold to riser to anti-syphon loop to waterlift muffler.
