[C38] Water lift muffler

[Rich West]

I just replaced my waterlift but I don't remember the brand.  It is very
close to the engine - maybe 3 inches from exhaust outlet to waterlift inlet.
I used very soft high-temperature silicone hose to make the connection and
so far, it works great (about 50 hours use).

I also found that on my boat, the waterlift was right up against the back of
the refrigerator.  Now that I've replaced it, and moved the waterlift
further aft, my refrigerator compressor (cold plate system) only runs about
1/4 as much.   Even when I am not using the engine, the refrigeration runs
much less.  There was a large area at the back of the refrigerator, between
the waterlift and the refrigerator box, that was not properly insulated.

  The muffler has developed several hair line cracks and leaks around the in
take and outlet pipes.

  Info from Vernalift and Naquqlift state that the muffler should be a
minimum distance of 24 inches from the raw water injection site.

  Has anyone info on fiberglass or metal and on the correct location.
