Guys,

Is 1/2" clearance between a Vernatone muffler and the hull and deck sufficient? I cannot find anything on the Centek installation sheet about clearance requirements.

Thanks!

don't know about half an inch, but mine are maybe 2 inches away for a very very long time.

John,
I always built a fore and aft cradle that supported the mufflers. 1/ 2 clearance is fine as long as exhaust is well supported and secured.

exactly what bruce says. i built a fore and aft cradle and muffler has 1/2" clearance from top of muffler to bottom of deck.no problem the muffler is as cold as the ambient water temperature of ocean or whatever body of water you are in!!!!!!!!

Thanks Guys!

I am building a fore and aft cradle and intended to use two straps to secure each muffler down per the Vernatone/Centek install instructions. However, I could not find anything regarding clearance from the hull/deck.

I really appreciate the information.
