Beta 20 - Catalina 30 - Water Lift Exhaust
Permalink  

Hi Guys ...

This next couple months is when I have to redo my water lift muffler, after being advised that the one currently installed is too small...

I have attached some pics of the same installation in a Cat30 of the Centek muffler #1500027  a side in top out design.

This sounds like the correct sizing, my question is : I would like to install mine with the inlet pointing directly aft , and feeding the inlet with a 90  ...the thought being that on a hard heel it would be harder for the water to back flow toward the engine.....

Any advice appreciated, (I have not ordered the muffler yet) if you have any other suggestions....I am not sure but dont think a top in top out would fit ...

there is a westerbeke hi-rise exhaust elbow on the back of the beta20.

Hello Jamie,

We would recommend the Centek 1500120 water lift with the side in and top out.

We would recommend against a 90 degree fitting between the exhaust and the muffler. The restriction introduced by a 90 degree fitting in your exhaust is equivalent to many feet of added exhaust hose.

This arrangement has been used succesfully many times in the Cat 30.

Thank you for the update, that is the one I have requested now. 

I did recall from a few months ago that the other one was also suggested, 

but I like the idea this sizing, as long as the inlet is not higher than the engine outlet I suppose? 

Once the system is set up I will send in some pics for confirmation that it is all configured correctly for my application...

Thankyou for the advice

Jamie
