I have a 30' hunter and the exhaust muffler is lying unlevel to the water line. It lies on a 30 deg angle down towards the stern. The unit is a large blue cylinder with a hose connectio at each end. It seem as if there is a perfect spot for the muffler to lay down in if the hose from the mixing elbow to the muffler were maybe a foot longer. Does anyone know where to get a replacement muffler, a company name, or flushing instructions? At high rpms my engine steams a bit out the exhaust. I'm thinking it might be improper mixing or a shortage of raw water due to the 30 deg angle of the muffler.

You should call Hunter Marine (800-771-5556 x 3015) and talk to their parts people for a recommendation on a replacement muffler for your boat. If you have one of the older Cherubini models, a Primex fiberglass replacement in-line muffler can be purchased from Marine Mufflers (Hunter will give you the part and phone number). It's hard to tell from the photo, but is the muffler bad? If not, why replace it. If you need an additional foot of exhaust hose to fix your problem, then just do it. It's not a hard job.
