- Identify the upper exhaust hose and compare the replacement hose with the original part before removal.
- Remove the existing clamps or fasteners carefully, following the service procedure for your engine and stern drive.
- Clean the mating surfaces and inspect the riser, exhaust pipe, clamps and surrounding components for corrosion or damage.
- Install the replacement hose without twisting, folding or forcing it into position.
- Position the clamps or fasteners according to the applicable service instructions and tighten them to the manufacturer’s specification.
- Reconnect the battery, run the engine in a safe, well-ventilated area and inspect the connection for exhaust or water leaks.
Troubleshooting and FAQ
How do I know if the exhaust hose needs replacing?
Inspect for cracks, splits, hardening, swelling, abrasion or deterioration. Unusual exhaust noise, visible leakage or water in the bilge may also indicate a failed exhaust hose. Stop using the boat until the exhaust system has been inspected.
Is this kit for the upper or lower exhaust connection?
This kit is identified as an upper exhaust hose kit. It should not be substituted for a lower exhaust tube or a different bellows application without confirming the original part number and connection arrangement.
Does the kit include two hoses?
Yes. This product is an exhaust bellows kit with a 3852696 × 2 reference. The package contains two upper exhaust hoses.
Will it fit every 4.3L to 8.2L engine?
No. The displacement range is only a general guide. Confirm the exact engine model, year, serial number, stern-drive configuration and existing part number before ordering.
Is this an OEM product?
No. This is an aftermarket replacement kit. Volvo Penta, OMC, Sierra, GLM and Mallory names and part numbers are used only to identify application and cross-reference information where applicable.
Safety and Important Information
- Exhaust-system work should be performed with the engine off, cool and the battery disconnected.
- Exhaust leaks can allow carbon monoxide into the engine compartment or passenger area. Inspect carefully after installation.
- Verify the original hose and all application conditions before purchase; a listed displacement alone does not confirm fitment.
- Professional installation is recommended when the correct service procedure, clamp specification or engine serial-number application is uncertain.
