Had a thought come to mind in thinking through this...rather than try to remove the SS exhaust pipe or the raw water hose at the base of the exhaust (both of which are on the back side of the generator and pretty much inaccessible); what about installing a tee inline along the exhaust hose, after the SS pipe? I may need to punch a new hole through the sound shield, but that would evacuate the raw water from the generator more directly, right? I just don't know if the raw water serves to cool the SS exhaust pipe or if the exhaust pipe would be fine just pushing dry air through it. This would be a far simpler solution that is much more serviceable going forward. Thoughts?
