The boat is a pilot house trawler style with cummins 6bt 220hp with 2000 hours.
This is a wet exhaust and the hose is about 20’. There are no visible leaks and I have not noticed any soft spots in the hose but it is almost 20 years old and I would hate to have a blowout underway. However I would like to avoid this job if possible. It appears the boat was built around this hose.
I would like to tap into the collective wisdom on this site to determine if replacing the exhaust hose is based on time, hours, or symptoms. Let me hear from you folks.
Thanking you in advance.
