Ray, Thank you for sharing the details on that well crafted stack. What an excellent solution for our under cockpit space dilemma. That takes full advantage of the only space we have under the motor hatch and does not appear to compromise our limited access to the engine. That yard metal worker put some time in on that one. If the PO lavished up grades like that in other areas that’s going to be a smart little ship you picked up.

It looks like about a 2” pipe. How did he do the flange mating and still have nut or bolt access? I’ve been contemplating replacement strategies all winter and you’ve sent me off thinking in a new direction. I’m afraid the financial road block route.

By the way, I am able to clean the prop in the water w/out a diver. I strap a pfd under my ass, turn the blade with my foot to about one o’clock and pull scrape clean w/a butter knife w/out the use of a snorkel. In SF bay you will need a wetsuit.
