Wallas Exhaust Cleanup Project

Our Wallas Nautic 40D diesel heater exhaust had been rusting at the heater end and at the through-hull end. The through-hull end was rusting so badly, it was dripping rust on the inside of the hull. The through-hull hose clamp was so rusted, it came off when I touched it. The heater end wasn't too bad. One brand of hose clamps fared better than the other, so I've taken note of the rusty brand and the good brand. We have no diesel heat while we wait for a shipment of flexible exhaust pipe and a fiberglass sock from Scanmarine. I can't say enough good things about Scanmarine. They support a fantastic product with great customer service.
