Bad exhaust installation

[@jameshunter4352]

Nice and critical, don't pull punches on inspections. I saw another 10 items wrong in there as a marine surveyor. Well done

[@rdprdputube]

I used to have a heavy equipment repair business and in important thing to do is have a clear write-up before work is started, something to be accountable to. When the mechanic is doing work, if he sees items that are not of like-kind or deficient, it benefits both parties to write it up and notify the owner and have him to decide to make those additinal repairs or not. It's not absolutely fair to go back after the work is done without a written proposal and start to decide what you want to pay for or not. In this situation it doesn't appear a concise proposal was written. There are some unknows in this transaction. Good video.

Gott do it right or else it may show up on You Tube?

[@timgreen4137]

You are correct. A very lazy installation job. Dangerous in several ways.

[@AskCaptainChris]

And top dollar was invoiced too!

[@Embarq007]

And that’s why when you can’t be there in person it’s always worthwhile to have an independent survey of the work being done!

[@raym5113]

shouldn't the hose clamps be in alternating direction for added for added security?

[@AskCaptainChris]

Ray M depends upon who you read. Most sources say the additional clamp not the direction is what is important. But there are many out there who swear that they should be in opposite directions. Tomato tomahto. 😎

[@baseballunderthelights2373]

What should the solution be for the hose clamps? Twist at inward? Clip end off? Or tape Down?

[@AskCaptainChris]

Use the proper diameter metal hose clamp so the tail is not too long. Zip tie was just a cheap way of securing the hose & a better design should have been used. But, if you use a zip tie be sure to cut the tail flush with the square ratchet end. All of these were redone properly by that’s company’s A-team.

Any videos on correct way to wrap a marine exhaust pipe with the white wrap?

[@AskCaptainChris]

D’Angelo marine exhaust in Fort Lauderdale may be able to help you with that.

@@AskCaptainChris just wondering if there is a video on you tube. I'm sure someone has done one lol

HEY CAPITAN !! IN A 6,92 DETROIT ENGINE WHERE IS THE RPM SENSOR LOCATED IF IT HAS ELECTRIC GAUGE, OTHER THAN THE ALTERNATOR ??? OR THE FRONT OF THE FLY WEEL ...

[@AskCaptainChris]

I don’t know where it is.

@@AskCaptainChris THANK YOU !!

[@MichaelKallelisOn2Wheels]

What was the outcome?

[@AskCaptainChris]

The company sent their A team on the second time around and they did it right.

[@luisfelipegarcia9924]

IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THE BIGGEST MISTAKE IS THE DESIGN OF THE COOLING SYSTEM, NO THE REPAIR...

[@AskCaptainChris]

That is correct. But the same guy did both.

[@johnm5714]

I bet you made some new friends with those butchers huh?-doing crap work ALWAYS creates an awkward situation nobody wants to be involved in.Just do it right the first time for god sake and avoid being called out for being a hack

[@AskCaptainChris]

The vendor was very up set with me for challenging him on the installation. He said it was OK and not necessary for him to drive 2 hours to look over the job. I posted this video online and he called saying that was not necessary. I told him it was because now I got his attention. He sent a second crew to rework the exhaust system. I met them upon arrival, they boasted they were the A Team and would straighten it out. They did and all is OK, the boat owner paid his bill and was thankful he hired me to look over the work before paying.

Sloppy job... captain Chris

[@AskCaptainChris]

I agreed. That’s why I recommended the owner demand a correct installation.
