Martinique muffler replacement

[GregW]

I have a 1986 Martinique with a crack on the underside of the muffler which is leaking water into the bilge. I did a repair on it 3 years ago but it didn’t hold. So now I’m planning on replacing it. Looking for any advice on tackling this project.
Thanks.

Are those the tubular mufflers, or do the exhaust hoses go into one single muffler? Got any pictures?

Hi Jeff,
The mufflers {2} are tubular. No photos but I should have some soon.

Those shouldn't be hard to replace. Just loosen the two hose clamps on each end, remove the hoses, and replace the mufflers. Reattach the hoses. Nothing more to it.

The only issue is the replacement muffler. Correct Craft doesn’t offer it anymore so I have to look at other sources. Going to get measurements on it next week when we head down to the lake. We’re in Ohio. Boat in Tennessee. Thanks for the info. Greg

Look at Discount Inboard Marine or call them. Great source for this vintage.

Fresh Air Exhaust might be another option for you.... https://www.freshairexhaust.com/home/mufflers/

I viewed this option a couple of days ago. It sounds interesting.
