It almost always is an option. In most cases the engine has to be lifted
to get the pipe that routes down to the lower unit installed. There are
filler plates to cover where the thru hull tips are removed. Except for
lifting the engine it is simple work. You might look at slip in mufflers
but they will still be a lot louder than thru prop.

We are looking at a nice 21 footer to use for water skiing, tubing and
general use on Lake Erie. The problem is that it has thru hull exhaust.

Is it easy to convert to an below the water exhaust (through the prop on
the I/O)? How much money in materials would be involved? Is it a do it
yourself project?






I have seen boats that can transfer from thru hull to thru the prop with a
switch. Any idea the cost of such conversion?
