Troubleshooting & FAQ

How do I know if this exhaust hose fits my engine?

This hose is made for MerCruiser stern drive models 470/485, 185, 205, 898, 228, and 260 from approximately 1976–1987. To ensure a perfect match, please cross-reference your engine model and year with the detailed compatibility table on this page.

What are the signs of a failing exhaust tube hose?

Common signs of failure include visible cracks, bulges, brittleness, or softening of the rubber. You might also notice water leaking into the engine bay, an increase in exhaust noise, or exhaust fumes in the bilge area.

Do I need to buy anything else for installation?

Yes, this hose requires four 5-inch hose clamps to ensure a secure, leak-proof installation. These are not included with the hose and must be purchased separately.

Is this a direct replacement for MerCruiser 32-90949T?

Absolutely. This part is engineered as a direct aftermarket replacement for MerCruiser part numbers 32-90949T and 32-90949, as well as equivalents from Sierra, GLM, and Mallory.

When should I replace my exhaust hose?

There is no universal replacement interval. We recommend inspecting all exhaust components, including hoses, at least once per season. You should replace the hose immediately if you see any signs of wear, damage, or material degradation to prevent potential engine damage.

Can I install this part myself?

While installation can be performed by individuals with good mechanical skills and the correct tools, we recommend professional installation to guarantee a safe, correct fit and to prevent dangerous exhaust leaks.
