I did it with the original plastique fitting,but it can be done with SS as well.

Now, that’s an approach that I didn’t think of. Did you run the stainless tube through a Vetus exhaust, or did you have a different brand?

You could have one made from 2" SS tube,and have a flange welded on it. Or,as I did with my plastic one,just add a small piece of tubing so it projects aft of the transom. BTW,clearing the transom doesn’t cure the diesel stain,just reduces it. I clean the transom well before launch,and put 6 or so coats of wax on it to seal the pores,and that reduces the stain sticking,and also makes it easier to clean

Lance and Jerry:
Many thanks for responding.
Lance, I have seen the Vetus fitting and it meets my needs except for one thing: I’d like a bit more lip to carry the water a bit farther aft in an attempt to minimize the diesel mustache that F30s develop.
Jerry: That is a fitting I have not seen (which is embarrassing to me since I buy my parts from Torresen). Like the Vetus, it does not have much of a lip but is certainly worth exploring further.
Buck Algonquin makes exactly the shape I want, but it is chrome plated brass, and ABI makes exactly what I want in stainless in every size but 2".
The real fix for this is to relocate the exhaust to the hull side. Nonsuchs have the same diesel mustache problem and someone makes a 2": fitting for installation on the side of the hull. That is probably a but more work than I want to do right now.
Best,
Al
