Make sure all exhaust clamps are in place and secure.
Look for exhaust leaking from the exhaust system
components, indicated by rust and or black streaking,
water leaks, or corroded or cracked fi ttings.
Inspect all rubber exhaust hoses for burned or cracked areas.
All rubber hoses should feel soft and be free of kinks.
Visually verify that water exits at the engine exhaust outlet.
Keep an ear tuned for any change in exhaust sound that
could indicate an exhaust component malfunction.
DO NOT OPERATE THE VESSEL IF ANY OF THE ABOVE

At Least Annually (To be performed by a marine professional)
Replace exhaust hoses or muf fl ers if any evidence of
cracking, charring or deterioration is found.
Replace the engine water pump impeller along with
the plate and housing if necessary. This will help
prevent cooling system and in turn exhaust system
overheating.
Inspect each of the metallic exhaust components for
cracking, rusting, leaking or looseness. Pay detailed
attention to the exhaust manifold, cylinder head and water
injection elbows. Make sure all exhaust clamps are in place
and secure.
