The AT-34 I recently chartered has a wet exhaust with a water separator and
two exhaust pipes - an impressively large can nicely insulated and painted..
My very first thought on seeing it was, a likely failure item down the road...
Seawater and exhaust gases do not mix well with metal, especially when it
cannot be inspected...
My druthers would be a dry exhaust with a tall stack...
The upside of of the system used on the AT is that it is VERY quiet and only
once in a while a whiff of exhaust gas when the rear saloon door was open...
