Water outlet Size

[Mark Kennedy]

I have a MFS9.8A3EPL (2015) which sits in a box in the middle of a sailboat.
I need to run the water exhaust away from its present location, was going to do so with nylon tubing.
Does anybody know the size of the outlet, my motor is presently 50 miles away.
Trying to work out the ID & OD of the nylon tubing required.

Thanks,

Mark

You will need to measure one in the showroom, if you can't get to yours. Nylon may be too stiff; Type A1 fuel hose may be better. The idle exhaust port will get pretty hot in operation, so wet exhaust hose may be a better choice, if you can find it that small an ID. Beware that adding too much back pressure to that port will cause a poor idle.

Paul,
Appreciate the input, had a quick look, doesn't look like I can get line that small.
But I'll look more in depth tonight. Thanks, for the comment on the poor idle, I'll keep an eye on that,
