Having sorted out the problems with the conecting of the engine to the sterndrive on my colvic 21. i now have a few more problems to sort out and hope some of you guys on here can help?.:kissing:
1/ having ending up moving the engine i now have to make up an exhaust for it. There is nothing to work from as the last owners threw the old exhaust away when they took the inboard out
in a way this is probly best as i have to start from scratch. the only things to go by that i have is, the exhaust manifold and the remains of the old hole where the exhaust went through the transom. so the first thing is when fitting the new exhaust is there any pit fall to look out for, i.e. dose the exhaust have to run down hill?
secondly what materials can be use to make it up?
2/ the weed trap now fouls the engine so needs to be moved slightly, if it is turned 90 degs then it fouls the hull structure. I have seen the local plummer and he hasn't got any fitting and thinks they are possible gas fittings! is this possible?
