Install steps
1.) Remove swim platform and exhaust flapper
2.) Remove middle swim platform bracket.
2-9/16" wrenches and two people, one reaching up behind the muffler to gain access to the bolts inside, one turning the bolts from the outside
3.) Install new aluminum bracket with marine adhesive. Again two people with 9/16" wrenches
4.) Drill 4 holes around the exhaust port
5.) Screw in stainless screws into the exhaust port
6.) Put new rubber tubing around exhaust port,
7.) Put 3 hose clamps onto exhaust tubing and only tighten loosely.
8.) Put FAE into exhaust tubing and tighten hose clamp loosely so, that the pipe can still be moved around.
9.) Feed up long threaded bolt from the welded on bracket of the FAE pipe. I put a nut to hold the threaded bolt to hold onto place
10.) Put stainless tubes over threaded bolts
11.) Figure out needed length of stainless tubes based on where the upper bracket interfaces onto the upright tubes.
12.) Cut upright tubes to length
13.) Drill holes onto upper bracket the same width as the lower bracket
14.) Thread on bolts onto the threaded bolts to the upper bracket
15.) Figure out left/right placement of upper bracket with respect to where it aligns with the swim platform bracket.
16.) Clamp upper bracket to swim platform with C-Clamp and then drill two holes through the swim platform bracket and through the upper bracket.
17.) Install swim bracket to upper bracket bolts
18.) Wiggle the FAE pipe to get everything aligned and vertical and then tighten hose clamps and bracket nuts
19.) Cut threaded bolts to length.
