I know this was posted in the past, but I had a problem while motoring yesterday and would like to be sure how to fix it. I wrote to Catalina about a similar issue a few years ago and never got a satisfactory response. After motoring for about 20 minutes at nearly full throttle, I noticed smoke coming from the cabin. Upon opening the engine cover, I saw that the bulkhead was charred black and it seemed as though exhaust was leaking (some slight bubbling) from the connection between the large hose and the insulated pipe in the exhaust system. There are two large hose clamps on this joint and I tightened them, but it looks as though they may need to be repositioned.
Has anyone experienced this and found a solution? Any insight into this would be very much appreciated since this is quite a dangerous situation.
Thanks,
