TP-6862 6/14 19Section 4 Exhaust System
4.4.1 Above-Waterline Installation
Install a customer-supplied silencer with the silencer’s
outlet at a maximum of 3 m (10 horizontal ft.) from the
center of the engine’s exhaust outlet. See Figure 4-5.
Mount a typical silencer with the inlet and outlet
horizontal and with the drain plug down. Use an exhaust
hose pitch of at least 13 mm per 30.5 cm (0.5 in. per
running foot). Some silencers require two support
brackets or hanger straps for installation to stringers or
other suitable structure. Follow the instructions
provided with the silencer. Install any lift (see
Figure 4-5, item 2) in the exhaust line below the engine
exhaust manifold outlet.

into the silencer (keep below the level of the exhaust
manifold outlet)
3. Minimum exhaust hose pitch of 1.3 cm per 30.5 cm (0.5 in.
per ft.)
4. Minimum exhaust hose pitch of 1.3 cm per 30.5 cm (0.5 in.
per ft.)
5. Exhaust manifold outlet
