Exhaust Bellows needed for CAT 3116

[NC-Ray]

Good Morning Braintrust,

I have a cracked exhaust bellows on my 1992 Hyatt 40 powered by CAT 3116 engines. I am having problems finding a supplier for this part. It is attached to the turbo outlet on the engine on one end, and and exhaust elbow on the other. Attached are two photos of the part.

Can any of you recommend a supplier for this part?

Thanks,

Ray

A web search for cat exhaust bellows turned up several sources.

Have you contacted Blanchard? They are the local Cat dealer there in Myrtle.

Marine exhaust of Alabama (Mesamarine.com) or Applegate industrial (Pennsylvania) should be able to hook you up. Marine exhaust of Ft Lauderdale also.

Thanks Guys!.. I have contacted Marine Exhaust in Al. but have not received a reply.
We tried to braze it, but it didn't hold so I am forced to replace. Back then I received a quote from a company in Chicago named Fexicraft and was quoted $800 to fabricate a new one. Several boat buddies have told me that isn't a bad price. It sounds like these are pretty much a custom manufactured item. Most of what I find on the net had circular clamps for the bellows. Mine is one piece.
