check your exhaust

[john2]

This summer i noticed some black dots next to the engine, a small leak in the exhaust elbow.
all our boats are getting some age, i'm sure there are more like this...
first photo is after removing the elbow and heat wrap.
no 2: this piece fell out
no 3 after some poking....
no 4 new stainles elbow .

Ouch! How many hours are on your engine? Did you buy or fabricate the new piece?

around 1700 hours, i fabricated it from 316 stainless
