Silent Choice

[LAVEYSABRE575]

my father in law is in the process of buying a powertoon with a 496 in it assuming the noise is below the sound requirements with the silent choice , would that setup be acceptable with the LE......

I think switchable exhaust is not legal on new boats after Jan 1.

I believe JB is correct, the exhaust that passes the test (thru the prop) can not be switchable to one that wouldn't, thru the transom.

I am going to third that. Switchable is no bueno. Either mufflers or well below the waterline.....

I think a "silent choice" type exhaust would be OK with LE only if it was under the db limit when routed through the transom

I don't think they are "illegal" to have, they do not qualify as a full-time muffling device. You still need to be in compliance with the system off.

In California.
Some states it is still legal.

[beer hunter]

SC is not in compliance regardless.....
If that's true = dumb law! :hammerhea

After 40 years in California, I think everything is illegal in one way or another... :frown:
