Hi Don,
I'm having trouble identifying what type of exhaust sytem I have on my 1978 Catalina 27. Here's my issue, normally water 'batches' out of my discharge at idle (or did until this pipe broke ) so I'm assuming that I have a water lift type muffler. I'm also basing that on the fact that the broken section looks like it's plain old 1 1/4" galvanized pipe.
Looking at the system though there is no "muffler" to speak of, just a 6" section of galvinized pipe that hangs down from the connection where the water from the block enters the exhaust, after the hot section. Am I missing something or is this just how the old owner tried to save a few bucks by using this pipe instead of an acutal muffler?
Thanks,
Matt
