How hard is it to get the mufflers out? I think I may have leaks in both mufflers. There is a 1" wide aluminium clamp bracket that is under the rear couch that I can't get to the screws to remove them. Can I saw them off with a hacksaw?
Then will I be able to get them out reasonably easy?
I would suggest taking the rear seat out to provide access to the clamp. You will need to do that anyway to re-install. In terms of taking out once you have access it is a work out as the hose is stiff. If possible let it heat up in the sunlight. I removed mine and installed new ones on a chilly spring day. I was exhausted when I finally got them installed.
Just curious as to why you think both are leaking? There are a lot of reasons why you can get water in your bilge.
I agree DOC. I just tightened my shaft seal last weekend. Leaking like heck. I don't have dripless and am assuming that 2001 doesn't either.
Had a small muffler leak with my prior 97 Boomerang. Those were made of fiberglass. I just patched it with fiberglass cloth and resin. I honestly don’t know if these are made the same in our boats or not though.
