I have a 94 wellcraft eclipse 232. It has a 5.7 350 with a duo-prop volvo penta outdrive. I've seen boats with their exhaust coming out of the side or the back. I would like to have mine come out of the sides. y questions are:

"thanks for posting the link. that definately looks like what i was looking for.

in the picture it looks like the exhaust is routed straight out of the back. can i have it come out the sides?

Also, it looks like i won't have to replace my risers or hose connectors. in the bottom picture it looks like i have to cover the hole where the exhaust currently exits, piece 9. is that right?"

"1) You probably could, but I don't see any advantage by installing the exhausts through the boat sides.

2) Yes; for if you don't your boat won't be afloat for too long.
