Replace Mufflers on 3000 Pursuit

Postby Stockychuck » Wed May 02, 2012 2:34 pm

My marina has told me I have a leaking exhaust (and burned muffler). They said it probably came from overheating although I never had that happen. The boat is powered with Cummins Diesels. I am told the only way to access the muffler is to cut out the decking. Is this true ?

Replace Mufflers on 3000 Pursuit

Well Chuck, I have bad news for you. It is true. Do you have the 3000 express or offshore? Cummins 4 BTs or 6 BTs? I have a 3000 express and have done lots of work on her. My old Rampage you could unscrew the deck and lift it off. On the Pursuits, you will notice a smooth indentation going around the outer cockpit just inside the non-skid. It may as well say "cut here"! Please keep me posted. How many hours on the boat?

I don't think you can get to the mufflers through the hatches in the stern on that boat. I suggest that you contact Pursuit customer service first and ask them to be sure.
