[C38] Breakdown

[Steve Smolinske]

In the San juans on the way across the straits got caught in the  
washing machine and came down hard off a wave snapped my exhaust riser  
at the flange and mounting for the water muffler have repaired both  
but now my lead from the wet elbow to the can is different and  
tomorrow will be working on running the hose hoping someone with  
experince can offer advice on dos and donts of bends and angles thanks  
all.
