We have a Bluewater 51 coastal cruiser with a great deal of large
diesel engine thrust pressure on a stiff exhaust hose that we cannot clamp down. (of course there is little space at the site where the leak is at the transom at the stiff hose to rigid F/G and the great thrust is hard on it).
What I want to know is if there is a HD marine grade exhaust hose clamp for a 6" wet exhaust hose. We cannot draw it down with screw clamps, (and then too, this might just be transferring the problem to somewhere else).
We are in the Bahamas, so may have to use rubber innertube on it. Has anyone out there had any experience with this kind of problem? We welcome any possible solutions...even if temporary until we can get her hauled out onto the dry. Thank you fellow members for your kind consideration!
