009 - Muffler Repair

One of the items on the survey was to replace the hose for the drain on the starboard muffler.
It was not that easy.

Nicely done!

Thank you!

How is that repair holding up? I am trying to do something similar to my muffler.

[@fixingblackjacklady8783]

It is still dry under there. I will try and get down and take some photos to see.

Do you have de-zincification concerns using brass fitting on the bronze valve in a seawater / saltwater application?

[@fixingblackjacklady8783]

Honestly I had to look up dezincification. I did find out they make brass that is resistant to dezincification. The valve I bought is lead free for potable water and I do not know if it is resistant to dezincification. For certain before I am back in salt water I will remove that and ideally I will get rid of the list and get that through hull above the water line where it belongs and remove the valve all together. Thank you for the information.

Was waiting for you to try it out.. disappointed.... :(

Sorry not much excitement there. It doesn't leak. Next time I start the motors I will put a camera back there. I don't want to crawl around those things while they are running.
