SERVICE MANUAL NUMBER 23
Silent Choice Exhaust System
If engine is equipped with thru-prop exhaust, a thru-transom kit [4 in. (102 mm)], two exhaust
bellows and eight bellows hose clamps are required.
If engine is equipped with thru-transom exhaust, an exhaust pipe kit (P/N 44266A6) is
required, containing the exhaust pipe and necessary parts.
IMPORTANT: When installing Silent Choice exhaust, it is recommended that the
exhaust bellows on the transom assembly be removed. This is necessary to avoid
creating a vacuum at the exhaust outlet in the propeller at higher boat speeds. This
vacuum could degrade propeller performance on some boats.
CAUTION
It is the responsibility of the boat manufacturer or installing dealer to properly
locate the engine and install exhaust system. Improper installation may allow water
to enter the exhaust manifolds and combustion chambers, and severely damage
the engine. Damage caused by water in the engine will not be covered by Mercury
MerCruiser Warranty, unless this damage is the result of defective part(s).
