 Topic: Installing new exhaust hosePosted: July-04-2022 at 10:36pm |

Hi everyone,
('78 Nautique)
So I had the hoses attached to the elbow with them double clamped tightly, or so I thought. As I started to push the hose downward to create a bend and meet the mufflers, I had to push so hard that the hose slipped right off, The elbows are powder coated at the end so I wonder if the surface is too slick. I then tried to create a bend manually outside the boat by holding the ends and pushing against a pole...this produced a nice pancake. As a result, I don't recommend this technique. Any suggestions on the best way to accomplish this? Thanks ------------- Bellagio Boy |

I know what you mean when bending these hoses. They are very
rigid and don’t cooperate. I called a friend
over to hold one end while I insert into the muffler. Make sure the clamps were
extremely tight on the hoses. |
