Well thought I would share this, anyone running the hull hugger muffler here is a option for you to get more sound if you like. The Only thing I've seen on the Internet was the custom aluminum built y pipes and the High dollar Centek y pipe$$$.. This was made using schedule 40 pvc parts from Lowe's and my buddy giving me some pipe as well.. It's deff louder at idle which was what I was after and probably 20% louder at cruising speed 21mph.. Comments welcome.. If u had to buy the parts from Lowe's I'm guessing it would b less than $50 http://s1114.photobucket.com/user/862001/media/Mobile%20Uploads/20150814_205538.jpg.html" rel="nofollow"> [/IMG] http://s1114.photobucket.com/user/862001/media/Mobile%20Uploads/20150814_214059.jpg.html" rel="nofollow"> [/IMG]------------- 1977 MasterCraft Stars&Stripes 1994 Ski Nautique 2000 Super Air Nautique 1986 Ski Nautique 2001 1999 Sport Nautique gt40 current |

While I admire the effort I'm concerned about using plumbing pipe and the heat generated. If it was a good idea think of the money a boat builder could save when building multiple boats. It is the only thing between you and the bottom. If something happened I think an insurance company or a lawyer would be rubbing their hands with glee if that was found IMHO. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1711&sort=&pagenum=1&yrstart=1966&yrend=1970" rel="nofollow - 69 Mustang HM SS 95 Nautique Super Sport |

Gary.. time will test it.. with out motors having wet exhaust and temps around 160 range plus the heat from the risers also.. We ride 5min from the ramp so if one the joints do spring a bad leak from heat as you say..

I believe PVC has a heat rating of 140. The other day I wrapping up a warm engine temperature hunt and I was curious as to what my exhaust temp was. With the engine at 160 my exhaust was only 104. My bath water is warmer than that. I doubt the pvc melting is an issue. ------------- Please support The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation 1976 Ski Nautique 351 Escort 1993 Ski Nautique purple and black 351 HO PCM |

I totally agree with Gary. With the exhaust being below the water line, the use of the PVC is very risky.

Todd, You're measuring the water temp. What's the exhaust temp? Yes, the overall temp is a blend of the two but there are hot spots. If anything happens with the RWP, there may be a meltdown if not caught right away. At least the PVC would cool down when the hull floods!  ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

| Agreed that the exhaust water is not that hot under normal conditions... It's the unexpected overheat that'll cause problems fast. I've seen exhaust hoses melt and they're good for 200+. Not a great place to try and save a buck, but that's just my opinion. |

cpvc cement is for cpvc.. please dont give bad advice. solid core pvc is generally rated for 180 deg but i would never use is (lowes home depot sells foam core) foam core is not for exhaust either i guess you could try sch 80 but it is only really used for 95 + venting exhaust on newer high eff heating /Hw systems .. i completely agree with above posts dont trust the pipe dont trust the joints and def dont trust the glue.. ------------- former skylark owner now a formula but I cant let this place go |

I actually shot up inside the pipe for a temp, don't recall that actually number but it was close. My experience overheats seem to happen quick and sometimes too late. Exhaust Hoses melt. Maybe the pvc will be the weak link and melt and flood the boat before the motor cracks. I wouldn't use the pvc for anything more than temporary, but then again, four years later and my temporary gorilla tape is still plugging a leaky exhaust hose. ------------- Please support The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation 1976 Ski Nautique 351 Escort 1993 Ski Nautique purple and black 351 HO PCM |

Appreciate everybody's opinion and comments thus far.. Schedule 40 has to see close to 200F before it even starts to soften.. I agree if this pipe fails it will be in a joint.. and yes I did use high quality Oatly pipe cement for the fittings.. I don't mind being the guinea pig for testing it lol.. If it does fail like I said I don't pull far from the ramp so I will just have to shut her down immediately and get a tow from one of my buddys.. ------------- 1977 MasterCraft Stars&Stripes 1994 Ski Nautique 2000 Super Air Nautique 1986 Ski Nautique 2001 1999 Sport Nautique gt40 current |

Your OCD is flawed. You still have the alignment marks on at the joints! Peter, I'm not aware of any ruling about having to use the purple primer in this area but, it sure is a good one. The other big problem with primer is not using it at all (typ. on DWV with plumbers cutting corners) or letting it dry before applying the solvent cement. I'm proud to say that after running close to 2000 feet of sch 80 10" and down to 3" and then hydro'd to 250 psi we didn't have one joint push apart. BTW, we have been back up and running for over 6 weeks now after the repair. ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

I'm no plumber but i have built some pretty good potato cannons. and some not so good. But knowing what the pvc looks like after a good range day I would have to say i wouldn't trust any bit of it below the water line on my boats. especially with the exhaust gasses which are extremely corrosive. i wonder what it would do to the pvc. also do you have any idea how quickly you will be swimming with the fishes with a 3" hole under the waterline of a boat that small? I just finished safety drill training at my local coast guard base which covered this specifically. And just to give a little perspective, an open exhaust pipe below water line left unnoticed can leak roughly 150-200 Gallons per MINUTE, becoming exponentially more as the hole gets deeper in the water. So play on the safe side and if you are going to be a test hamster than bring a hammer and some exhaust size wooden plugs if you don't already have some in your ditch bag. Because time to get towed in may be too long. -Tony ------------- 1988 Barefoot nautique-454 |

EXACTLY!!!!! And this is designed to withstand that heat for short periods of time. Wait till you overheat the s**t out of that PVC. You won't have delaminated hose that simply needs replacing. You'll have a three inch hole directly thru the hull after the PVC has completely melted away. This is no different than somebody putting an automotive rated carb, dizzy, alternator, starter or fuel pump on their boat. Sure, it'll probably work fine maybe for as long as you own the boat, but all it takes is that "one time" when it goes boom and your boat is up in flames or sunk and people can potentially die all in the name of saving money. By all means let us know how that works out for you when that "one time" does happen. ------------- When people run down to the lake to see what's making that noise, you've succeeded. Eddie |

I made a cover frame out of PVC pipe for my Jet Jon. Not only did the material distort badly in summer sun, some of the properly primed & glued joints let go. Don't know if it is economical, but you could wrap the PVC in epoxy resin-ed glass, then it would be safe.

Was just something I read once, but it seems plausible in theory. A tennis ball diameter is 2.7 inches, not sure what exhaust tip inside diameter is exactly, maybe wrap in a rag first. Anything would be worth a try to not go down without a fight.

How much more resistant to heat are the fiberglass/epoxy components such as the hull hugger muffler, Invertaflo muffler, or in the case of the hull hugger, the fiberglass sections that go from the riser to the muffler? I've already had to replace one of those due to overtightening and probably heat from the PO years ago. ------------- 2000 SN GT40 w/99 Graphics/Gel 2016 SN 200 OB 5.3L DI https://forum.fifteenoff.com |

I respectfully withdraw my earlier suggestion. Got curious & looked this up on US composite site: 9. Do you sell high-temperature epoxy? No. Our marine and commercial use epoxy systems can only withstand temperatures from 150 to 195 degrees. Most high-temperature epoxies on the market will require autoclave or oven cure cycles. ------------- “Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.” Ben Franklin |

| Great idea if you are only looking for a test method. NOT a permanent solution. The pvc will fail and boat will sink. The resins used on the exhaust components are different, if you try to patch one of those using standard boat resin, it will not hold together over time. I agree with the idea of if you like how it sounds, spend the money and get the proper setup to avoid a catastrophe. My $.02 |

I don't see the problem being as much heat under normal circumstances, the issue is that when the engine experiences an overheat due to lack of water or water problems, you'll overheat the PVC. If you were using the RWP as extra insurance, the problem doesn't go away, you are still relying on the RWP either through the engine or around it. I actually think the bigger problem with PVC is that when you heat cycle it, it becomes brittle. We see condenser water heating systems in our area that have used PVC piping. Standard water temp is 85°-95°F and we have seen many failures due to the brittleness of the piping. Yes, the pipes are 20 years old, but I think vibration, more heat, and exhaust gasses would increase to the degradation rate. I think the OP has a point that getting it all correct as a trial is a fine Idea, but I'm glad to see that a Centek is on order. |

I can roll sheet metal and weld something up if you give me some dimensions but out of stainless its going to be more expensive than the fiberglass stuff. can also use aluminum, that would be my choice first because its easier to work with and wouldn't need to be gas backed. either way though I wouldn't be able to do it for any cheaper than the centek pipe. ------------- 1988 Barefoot nautique-454 |

What about the exhaust down tubes? Did you get those from WML? Also what was the total cost so others with invertaflow SN will know for reference. ------------- 1977 MasterCraft Stars&Stripes 1994 Ski Nautique 2000 Super Air Nautique 1986 Ski Nautique 2001 1999 Sport Nautique gt40 current |

I think I spent $250 for the wire reinforced hose, but I could have used the cheaper one. I ordered it someplace online. I had the interflow muffler. The hose attached directly to the exhaust headers. I will take pictures and try to post a sound track when I get to the lake tomorrow. I have the 351 HO engine. ------------- 1993 Ski Nautique |

| Did the hose come in 6ft sections? Do you remember how much you needed? |

The downtubes are ~$83 each at WLM. N3's parts section is STILL down and STILL sucks a big one. |

Need to click on the N3 Board Shop link then use the drop down to get to the parts shop. Rather rinky-dink if you ask me. The Parts Shop link displays a page that tells you the Online Parts Shop is coming soon. Been this way for as long as I can remember. I'd probably order parts from them if their web site was easier to use. Unfortunately for N3, nautiqueparts.com is way easier to use and I get a similar 10% discount. Here is a link to the hoses on N3's site. http://www.n3boatworks.com/product-category/parts-inventory/page/4/" rel="nofollow - Hoses ------------- If money can't buy happiness, explain beer and boats. |

| Ok, and then when I grab the drop down menu there is text on top of text. Garbage. |

Speaking of N3, where has Zach been lately? ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |
