There was an exhaust leak below deck that needed to be taken care of. I ended up replacing some and putting a patch to connect the old and the new.<br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_CnYbj5DOf8M/SkffOab-n4I/AAAAAAAAAAU/Z5a9c9MEtNQ/s1600-h/061509_15321.jpg"><span style="color:#000000;"></span></a></div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CnYbj5DOf8M/SkfeeZjrbfI/AAAAAAAAAAM/Mm-ON3-g7sI/s1600-h/052309_12321.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352491295991098866" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 256px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CnYbj5DOf8M/SkfeeZjrbfI/AAAAAAAAAAM/Mm-ON3-g7sI/s320/052309_12321.jpg" border="0" /></a>This is what it looked like after unwrapping the heat wrap.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />The pipe had corroded all the way through. I cut the pipe and replaced everything past the problem with new.<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_CnYbj5DOf8M/SkffOab-n4I/AAAAAAAAAAU/Z5a9c9MEtNQ/s1600-h/061509_15321.jpg"></a><br /><p></p><p></p><p><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_CnYbj5DOf8M/SkffOab-n4I/AAAAAAAAAAU/Z5a9c9MEtNQ/s1600-h/061509_15321.jpg"></a></p><p></p><p><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_CnYbj5DOf8M/SkffOab-n4I/AAAAAAAAAAU/Z5a9c9MEtNQ/s1600-h/061509_15321.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352492120860958594" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 256px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_CnYbj5DOf8M/SkffOab-n4I/AAAAAAAAAAU/Z5a9c9MEtNQ/s320/061509_15321.jpg" border="0" /></a>Then used muffler cement and a piece of stainless steel to wrap around the joint using band clamps to fasten it tight. I re-wrapped it with the Fiberglas heat wrap and called it good.</p><br /><p></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/693052170350333003-7115198992243777128?l=rickforberg.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Rickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08465324249991294203noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-693052170350333003.post-19607904185942009682009-06-28T13:35:00.001-07:002009-06-28T13:36:36.561-07:00Here it is.
