Hunter 386 Exhaust/Water hose

[Gary Ryan]

Hey guys...looking at changing out our water/exhaust hose when on the hard. Looks like it's original...2002. Reviewing the schematic, it shows a muffler. Does anyone know where this might be located? Hope it's not under the bed. Any thoughts on pulling this hose is appreciated.

Thanks,
Gary

Hope it's not under the bed.

Typically the hose has a high loop before the exhaust outlet.

The Bed area is the low spot for muffler.

My hose, 1999, looks great.

Exactly where your worst nightmare is picturing it :

This is for my 1999 H-310 but your 386 is likely in the same place.

Any thoughts on pulling this hose is appreciated.

1. Make sure no small children are within earshot. You're goin to develop a WHOLE new language when you do this .

2. Use the old hose to pull a fish line if you have a convoluted install path.

3. Be sure to re-install the exit loop.

I had replaced mine after about 20 years as it had started to show tiny surface cracks so time to go.

One tough miserable job for sure but anyone with a Grade Four Reform School education is way over qualified for the job.

Ended up visiting the boat today and have the same as you. Doesn't look too bad, but I'll take the advice! Thanks,
