Exhaust System Hose / Tube Connections - Mercury Alpha Installation Manual

GASOLINE STERNDRIVE INSTALLATION MANUAL

Exhaust System Hose / Tube Connections

Avoid exhaust hose failure. Discharge water from exhaust elbow must flow around
entire inside diameter of hose to avoid causing hot spots which could eventually
result in burned-through exhaust hoses. Exhaust hoses and/or tubes must be cor-
rectly connected to exhaust elbows so that they do not restrict the flow of discharge
water from exhaust elbow.
IMPORTANT: Exhaust hoses/tubes should be secured at each connection with at
least 2 hose clamps.
1. Tighten all exhaust hose and/or exhaust tube clamps securely.
