MARINE
MUFFLERS
A
marine muffler
is
used to silence the generator set.
Some mufflers have an integral water injection inlet,
while others arecooled
by
waterthrough theexhaust
line.
Placement of the muffler in the exhaust line depends
on
the type
of
muffler used. Usually some tailpipe
is
left
to
improve silencing. Refer to the manufacturer’s
installation instructions if the muffler does not func-
tion properly.
All
mufflers must be well supported, and
in
the case of
a
neoprene muffler, completely separated from the
hull
of
the boat. If a neoprene muffler touches the
vessel.
it
increases exhaust noise.
Donotuse themanifoldas a muffler
support because it puts excessive
strain on the connecting exhaust line and can cause it
to break
or
leak, resulting in the escape of deadly
exhaust gases.
