Typical Generator Exhaust System
The generator exhaust system features a dual tier operation.
As the water and exhaust exit the generator they travel to
the muf
fl
er. The muf
fl
er discharges the heavier water out
the muf
fl
er bottom and through the hull. The exhaust
itself is exited out the muf
fl
er top and through the hull.
The bene
fi
ts of the system are two-fold. First, the actual
decibel or sound level is decreased. In addition, the lower
resonating sound is more pleasing to the ear. For colder
climates, a drain plug is installed in the muf
fl
er.
Before departure always check the hose connections
for signs of water and air leaks. Tighten hose clamps as
needed.
