I know there are some C&C Corvette owners on this site. I was hoping to get some insight / opinion on the exhaust configuration.
My boat has the original copper or bronze water jacketed exhaust which looks to be in OK condition.
The boat has been laid up for over 20 years though.
I know from efforts to start it recently that there is a small breach in the hot section immediately after the manifold flange.
I shudder to think about trying to detach the water jacket section from the hot section coming off the manifold IN PLACE.
Even worse, trying to remove the thing in one piece!?
Two initial questions I would like to ask.
1. Are there any C&C Corvette owners out there with some experience on servicing / repairing or replacing the water jacket exhaust.
2. Someone mentioned pressure testing the water jacket exhaust. How is that done?
Thanks for all the help.
Next time I'm aboard I'll take some photos and sketch out what this thing looks like.
