Exhaust Tube Requirements
IMPORTANT: When installing thru-transom exhaust, it is recommended that the
exhaust bellows on the transom assembly be removed. This is necessary to avoid
creating a vacuum at the exhaust outlet in the propeller at higher boat speeds. This
vacuum could degrade propeller performance on some boats.
1. If required, remove and discard clamps and bellows from gimbal housing.
