Marine exhaust systems are an important and often overlooked part of a marine engine. Most vessels have a “wet” exhaust system. Salt water is injected on the rise – the exhaust outlet of the exhaust manifold. This mixture of exhaust gases and water is passed through a series of bends until it exits the boat, preferably in the stern.

The exhaust gas mixes with seawater to create a highly corrosive compound. This is why exhaust systems are commonly made using non-corrosive components such as nitrile rubber tube reinforced (brown – not green – banda), galvanized steel, fiberglass or plastic. The purpose of these components, which vary in size and shape, depending on engine size and design of the engine room, is to prevent engine hydraulicing. This is caused when an engine is filled with salt water that has entered through the exhaust and can cause extensive damage if left for more than two hours. The water enters the exhaust pipe of the action of waves on the stern exhaust design and the poor. Under certain conditions the sea, like a sea below, the water can be forced back up the exhaust pipe when the engine is not running. Poorly designed exhausts allow water to flow back and fill the waterproof box / silencer then up the hose to the exhaust manifold through the exhaust valves and the combustion chamber. With the engine full of water the engine can not handle on how it is and can not compress water.
