The new through-hulls are installed and the boat is back in the water. Since the galley counter had to be removed for the sea-cocks, I took this opportunity to install a new engine exhaust muffler. I had used the old muffler from the old engine and although it worked, due to the top inlet, sea water would periodically flood the engine. This was not good! I solved the problem last year by just shutting off the raw water sea-cock before shutdown. This cleared the muffler of any water before the engine was shut off.
I ordered a new Water Lift muffler from Dave at the marina. It has a side inlet so now I have water running down hill which is good. The new muffler is larger so I glassed an extension to the mounting pad and the old exhaust hoses worked fine. I ran the engine and have no leaks so life is good again.
Bev, Jessica, and Patrick will arrive this afternoon so the rest of the morning will be spent getting the interior back together and clean.
