I was replacing old hoses on my 1984 O'Day 272 and noticed that the exhaust water hose is 1 7/8". I then measured the exhaust thru-hull and that is also around 1 7/8", definitely not 2". Yet the Vetus Water Loc is a 50mm model (2") and is made for a 2" hose. Is it normal for an O'Day 272 to have a 1 7/8" hose and 1 7/8" exhaust? I have read on forums where people describe the exhaust hose as being a 2" hose.
Did O'Day mismatch the Vetus, exhaust water hose, and exhaust thru-hull? I don't know whether to change my exhaust thru-hull to 2" to match the Vetus properly or what. Please help. Thanks.
