    Includes: 4 each mufflers and all actuating hardware.
    One free transom mount air pump.

    Does not include flexible air line or plastic quick connectors to plumb, but you'd want to run new air line anyway.

    That's a pretty good deal. I'm assuming they clamp over 4" tips? Or do they replace the current tips on a system?

    They do not clamp over tips. They are transom mount. Transom mount mufflers actually through-bolt to the transom, and connect to the tailpipe inside the boat using standard rubber 4" exhaust hose. Rather than clamp-on, which is the other style, transom mount mufflers become part of the boat and will not accidentally detach. They replace any tips. As seen in the pictures, they also result in a cleaner look than clamp-on.

    It's a good deal, and they work.

    They are normally open, which results in a fairly loud but slightly reduced exhaust note. When switched, they close and exhaust and water is diverted through the silencer and down into the water below the muffler.

    The pump looks weathered but worked quite normally when it was taken off the boat. That is why it is free. It may need to be cleaned up or painted for your tastes. Not that they are attractive pumps anyway.

    The pump can be seen behind the starboard engine in this pic.

    "Cleaner" being defined as a straight profile starting right at the transom surface and no "snake swallowed a rat" effect caused by a few inches of exposed pipe with a fat thing clamped on it.

    Paul, if you want them, I would take a check and throw in the rubber exhaust hoses.

    I don't need any, but left a message for a friend who was looking earlier in the year. Don't know if he found any or not.

    I don't like the clamp overs either.

    Sounds like he doesn't.

    It's more a space thing for me than anything, but I'll stash em on a shelf and see if anybody pops up. Thanks for letting him know about them.

    I'll keep asking around.

    Are you getting any backlash from dry?

    No. I think the paint job drowns it out.

    Update: Found out when I pulled them from the shed and opened the boxes to take pics for an interested party that one of the four mufflers is missing one of three mounting nuts that are welded to the transom side of the can for through-bolting. That gentleman has the right of first refusal, but if he doesn't decide to buy them, I will adjust price on the set or throw in the extra cans for spare parts. Easy fix, but I wanted to disclose it now that I know it. My best guess is that I had only two, rather than three mounting nuts when the mufflers were on my boat.
    I just don't like problems, so I wanted to make sure to post this new info now that I know it.
    Thanks.

    They may be sold, but if that doesn't work out, I'll go $600 for the entire set. That's $300 off for one missing nut on one can.

    Still available.
    The guy who was interested found that the location of the exhaust and steering on his boat made these (or any external) a no go.

    They take up a lot of space and I have no emotional attachment.

    I have wet Gil tails too.
