Why ss ?? Steel last just as long.Easy to fabricate . My original lasted 30 yrs and only reason of failure was due to rusting under instillation.Didnt go from inside out.

Can also be stored on the boom. Attach a large ring at the front for the pole to slide through, and a small ring at the back to clip the beak onto.

I have successfully made mild steel flanges and elbows then welded on a simple straight SS mixer and water injection fitting at the end.

I think I saw you out there on Saturday near gulf harbour. Boat looked good and was sailing fast. Managed to get a few photos.

This website is pretty sharp for pricing. https://www.parts4engines.com/volvo-penta-d2-40-stainless-steel-exhaust-outlet-kit/

In the food and dairy industries for cold water 304 & 316 stainless is used, up to 55 deg C 316 stainless and over 55 deg C 2205 stainless is used. Bit of reading for you.

Ive got an SS elbow on my 2GM, its basically an inverted U with a hose nipple welded to it. Last year I removed it to clean any crud and it was pretty much perfect. I believe its because I run it 80-90% most of the time (its only 13hp) so it gets hot and doesnt get a chance to build up. I would have zero hesitation getting a replacement fabricated in SS, you might even be able to buy the bends. Handy hint do not go to a marine place to get it made if you want to save $$, try a rural engineering place that does milking plant repairs.

That is a bit misleading,. There are bigger individual waves out there - for example; "In February 2000, the British oceanographic research vessel RRS Discovery, operating in the Atlantic Ocean over the Rockall Trough west of Scotland, encountered the largest waves ever recorded by scientific instruments in the open ocean, with a significant wave height of 29.1 metres (95 ft) and individual waves up to 18.5 metres (61 ft)."
