Volvo penta exhaust elbow replacement HD 1080p

[@birgerbjessen]

Thanks for showing the dismantling is possible using normal tools. Good method to release the tube from the muffler, so the tedious work releasing the bend from tube can be made on a table with space around... I have same engine and even less space around it. I plan to get a moulded knee, believing it is best considering the salty hot water and sometimes long breaks not using the engine... Am I right in that ??

the air filter has a nut on the end of that tube as well as the jubilee clip

Thanks for that. Really useful. I’m a newbie sailor ! A couple of questions please…….. Where did you get the replacement elbow from, I presume not Volvo ? Is there a problem having two dissimilar metals (stainless and iron) connected or does the gasket take care of any risk of galvanic corrosion? How old was the original elbow? I have just bought a boat (D1-30 engine) which is 10 years old, 500 hours on the engine and the elbow is original. Do you think I should be looking to change the elbow now ?
