Is this muffler original/standard on a late 80s 48c
If you're asking if that's a factory installed cleat under that blob of line, the answer is, no. That's a dumb place to have installed one.Quote:

My aft cleats went thru the transom and had an alum plate on the exterior on a boat I had owned.
As to the muffler, it looks old enough to be OEM on any Hatteras ever built, but whether it is or not, I couldn't tell you. Is that one of the mains, or a genset?
The original genset on my Hatteras 36C was an Onan, long gone, which had a metal muffler. With salt water sitting in it, you can imagine how well THAT held up. When we repowered the boat and installed a diesel genset, it also got a NL muffler- interestingly, much small than the one for the Onan.
The listing does say new generator and muffler, but those pipes and muffler look really big.Attachment 35214
