A friend of mine wants to put thru-transom exhaust on his boat, but he says he doesn't have enough room in the engine compartment for a rear exit. He asked me if anyone has ever run the exhaust out the side of the hull on a small boat.
I wouldn't see a problem, other than the usuall with thru-transom.
Has anyone done this?
Thanks

OK, so it's a bad idea.
Any reasons, this guy seems pretty serious about it.
Thanks
If I remember right last year at the LA boat show I walked by the Crownline booth and they had boats on display that had the exhausts on the side of the hull.
Corsa makes 'em, but I could'nt find a price.
Out the side. Huuuh Would you call those "Lakes Pipes" ?
Thanks guys, I'll pass along the info.
I would talk with Corsa, they will tell you the best route to take. I had a Celebrity that I wanted thru hull on. They sent me a print telling me where to cut the holes and what all I needed.
my 2 cents,

biggest problem is that they sound like a poorly running 4 cylinder because you only hear half the engine. Sounds much better if you put a crossover on.

I see no problems at all other than thickness of hull for penetration. transom is a lot thicker therefore stronger to hold weight and resist vibration. I`d glass some 3/4 in just to make sure. Other than that all the Coast Guard and Navy boats I`ve done (aluminum hull) are either out the side or the bottom. You would also run into a cleaning issue with exhaust deposits. Very unsightly.
