Ok. A little help here. Looking at the 340 and obviously the "water ingestion" issue pops up during research. I am seeing three exhaust systems. The first is the traditional log muffler system, which I understand is problematic.
Then, there is the water lift mufflers (I understand this was the eventual fix), I see on boats with the newer 6.2s and 8.1s.
But the one I am looking at, a 1999 model, and many others seem to have a "hybrid" system (for lack of a better term) -- as if they cut the original log muffler in half.
So was the "hybrid" a fix for the issue as well? Seems easier to retrofit all the suspect boats like that than to add water lifts. Thanks.
