Quick question. Haha. Have a1979 35-2 (555) with the yanmar 2qm20 and the standpipe type cast muffler has disolved. Through my research, a replacement type muffler would need to be custom fabricated, if i can even find someone with those skills. so no bolt on replacements.
what have others done when this hurdle is experienced?
If going the water lift option my concerns are the waterline and exhaust exit level being about the same, anybody have experience using a simple elbow directly at the exaust manifold with high loop in the water line with anti siphon valve or should i have fabricated pipe that turn the corner and rises up under the starboard bench lazarette, similar to the path of the standpipe, puttin the location of the elbow and water introduction high as possible, then with rubber exhaust tubing dropping down to the water lift?
The exhaust port is also very high on the ericson. Is a simple high loop in the exhaust tubing from the water box to exit port the solution to prevent the residual un exitied water from flowing back into and further up to the exhaust manifold?
Thanks in advance to any input, even a redirect to an older post of same problem. I tried a search and only found other size ericsons and atomic diesel fixes
