Lookee what I found!
Both hoses (they are older than dirt).
3' down from the manifold at the muffler connection. The cut was necessary to free them from the fiberglass connector.

Few things in the world measure up to the thrill and satisfaction of boating in a boat that you built.

Re: Exhaust Hose Surprise
I have seen a pretty decent v-drive sink at the dock as a result of a failed exh hose on a below-the-waterline outlet.
too cheap to replace to risk that failure

Some plan to stroll through Saint Peter's Gates, I plan to go through them at 150mph... backwards... in a screaming ball of flame, with a glimmer belt wrapped around my head, and a NOx button in my hand.

I've been tracing a leak that seems to be coming from "back there"... I'll need to drain and pull the fuel tank to get a good look at what is going on. (sigh)... I don't know if I'll get in the water this summer. I am running out of days.
