Exhaust System Requirements

Engines With Thru Transom Exhaust

All Engines

1. System layout and construction must prevent cooling system discharge water from flowing back into engine and also must prevent seawater from entering engine via exhaust at any point.

When designing and installing exhaust system, it is very important that the following points be taken into consideration:

IMPORTANT: It is the responsibility of the boat manufacturer or installing dealer to properly locate the engine and install the exhaust system. Improper installation may allow water to enter the exhaust manifolds and combustion chambers and severely damage the engine. Damage caused by water in the engine will not be covered by MerCruiser Limited Warranty, unless this damage is the result of defective part(s). Determine if exhaust elbow risers are required by taking measurements (a) and (b), with boat at rest in the water and maximum load aboard. Subtract (b) from (a). If (a) minus (b) is less than specified in chart, select appropriate size exhaust elbow riser kit and exhaust extension kit that will correctly position exhaust elbow.

Exhaust Elbow Measurement a - From Waterline to Reference Point (Top of Transom) b - From Highest Point on Exhaust Elbow to Same Reference Point (Top of Transom)

2. The exhaust hoses and pipes must not be higher than exhaust elbows at any point. 3. The exhaust outlet (for routing exhaust to outside of boat) must be located so that a minimum of 1/2 in. (13 mm) per foot (305 mm) downward pitch (drop) exists in the exhaust hose or pipe from the engine exhaust elbow to the outlet, with a minimum drop of 4 in. (100 mm) overall. (This is an American Boat & Yacht Council recommendation.) The drop must be constant so that a low spot does not exist at any point in the exhaust hose or pipe. 4. Exhaust outlet must be slightly above the waterline with boat at rest in the water and full load aboard. Exhaust outlet should be equipped with an internal shutter to prevent seawater from running back into exhaust system. The use of an exhaust flapper on each outlet also is recommended. 5. System must not cause excessive back pressure. Back pressure MUST NOT exceed 4 in. (100 mm) of mercury when measured with a mercury manometer at exhaust elbow outlets. Minimum exhaust hose sizes are given in chart. Minimum Hose Size

IMPORTANT: Exhaust hoses must not restrict discharge water flow at exhaust elbow when installed.

6. Exhaust hoses must be connected to exhaust elbows so that they do not restrict the flow of discharge water from the elbow. If hoses are connected incorrectly, a hot spot in the hose can occur, and can eventually burn through. There are no kits to convert these engines from thru drive to thru transom exhaust. By using block off plates, inboard exhaust elbows, exhaust hoses and transom outlet fittings, some engines have been converted to thru transom exhaust. In addition to the preceding information, the following should be adhered to: • “Exhaust Elbow Measurement” (as previously outlined) must be checked. • Block-off plates (for thru drive exhaust system) must be able to prevent water from entering boat (Quicksilver Block-Off Plate Part Number 97350T). Refer to appropriate Stern Drive Manual. • Exhaust bellows (between gimbal housing and bell housing) should be removed to allow propeller to draw air. Refer to appropriate Stern Drive Manual.
