3000 Express exhaust piping/ hose replacement!

[NB-limey]

Hi guys, I have a 2003 , Pursuit 3000 Express twin gas powered.
I have a hair pulling dilemma.... the exhaust piping / hose in the fuel tank compartment is leaking the seawater cooling water into the aft bilge area. this compartment is obviiously between the engine compartment and the transom fishbox compartment. I am desperately in need of someone who has had to remove their exhaust and reinstall it to know how they access it and we're able to do the removal/replacement. I did contact Pursuit Boats and they told me that they do not have any information or blueprints regarding a model as old as mine because they did not used to archive that information back then. Also, I asked if anyone in their facility would remember how these were assembled and they said that there was no one around now because they do not do that part of the installation themselves. Any help, please!… I love this boat. I just wanna get out there and fish.

Have a look in this thread for pics of what your up against, changing the hose on the front of the muffler is relatively easy, access to the clamps can be gained by removing the deck shower box the port side, starb side is difficult but doable.

The aft clamps will be tough, can you confirm where the leak is?

Don't over tighten, it will crush the fiberglass exhaust tube
