Exhaust Gas System - Bavaria 42 CRUISER Manual For Use

Sailing Yacht Bavaria 42 Cruiser

2.10 Exhaust gas system

The yacht is fitted with a "wet" exhaust gas system, i.e. cooling sea water is injected into the
exhaust gas elbow causing a cooling of exhaust gases. This mixture is led down into a
silencer/water lock, runs through a pipe in the locker seat on the starboard side of the aft cabin, is
led upwards at the stern and escapes to the side above the water-line.
The exhaust gas hose consists of a synthetic rubber material with an integrated steal spiral.
The hose is heat-resistant (for some time) and should be checked and replaced if necessary.
A constant flow of sea water has to be guaranteed. The hose is secured at its joints with two clips.
If there is an interruption of the sea water flow, the temperature sensor in the exhaust gas hose will
release an visual and acoustic warning. In this event you should stop and switch off the engine
immediately until the problem has been settled (see manual of the engine manufacturer).
Attention
A regular inspection if saltwater comes out of the exhaust is urgently advisable.
