Water-cooled exhaust mixing elbows are a common failure point on marine engines. Internal corrosion, erosion, and scale build-up can restrict water flow and lead to overheating, exhaust gas leaks, backflow of raw water into the combustion chambers and, in severe cases, vessel flooding.
We carry out full inspection, cleaning, and repair of mixing elbows, restoring water passages and sealing surfaces to return the unit to safe working condition. For units that are obsolete or beyond economical repair, we can offer a design and manufacturing service to produce a replacement to the original specification.
Mixing elbow failure is a serious safety issue on any vessel with a wet exhaust system. If you suspect your mixing elbow is corroded, restricted, or leaking, contact us for an assessment.
