    With the present configuration it makes accessing the top of the engine pretty cumbersome, more of a convenience for later maintenance necessities.

    I've digested this a bit now. I actually think it's not a good idea to run it below the level where it enters the exhaust elbow. But I can't say exactly why. I can share that the hose on Aslan runs at about the level of the bottom of the valve cover using a steel bracket bolted over the exhaust manifold bolts. Good luck.

    IF you can not buy this configuration off the shelf for that boat
    True Wyes are expense and most have to be fabricated anyways with long lead times. One thing i would consider is getting a good fab shop (Certified Pipe Welders) to make it using a concentric or eccentric reducer (can't see the detail in the pic) and Pipe. I would use sch. 40 (not for the pressure but thickness and longevity) 316L USA made material and 316L Filler. GTAW (TIG) BW procedure with Argon purge. make sure you inspect it when you pick it up to ensure no black (or sugar) inside on the root pass. Will cost you a $good amount to get this done.

    That doesn't look like it came from DD that way. It could be a Covington part/ configuration ordered by Hatteras.

    A few less now.
    Get Alex on the phone asap. He is working at home. He found them this morning.
    I think they will still need a 2.5" short hose to attach to the original DDC tube.
    I will have them in hand probably Tuesday. Will know more then.

    Re: Raw water elbow configuration

    I have been aweigh for a while. In the mean time, the below part did not work for us.
    To small of hose sizes.
    So, I epoxied up with glass cloth the failure and the owner is off running his ship.

    There was another thread where a member had a new discharge pipe made of stainless.
    Can somebody please point me to that thread. I'd like to offer a similar plan to the owner.

    Not sure if shinny copper is as pretty as shinny stainless..
    I would like to think the copper would have less issues with warm salt water thru it.
