standard Mercruiser exhaust tube vs bellows

however if you want to install a captains call or silent choice type exhaust, pull out your wallet, its going to cost you about $2500 +

Corsa Marine is the ultimate way to go. Lovely thing on my boat...but glad I didn’t have to put it in instead of the factory. Last I looked it was about 5k for the system I have.

Many do this on the cheap, some successful and others have issues with water ingress back feeding because they didn’t do it right.

As good as it sounds...I’m thankful mine can be turned off for social reasons and when it’s called for. Which it usually is, late at night or when folks just don’t want to hear it. I can’t talk to the guy in the boat alongside me when it’s on.
