Exhaust through hull fix?

I read somewhere a while back that the 95 xp exhaust is bad about coming lose where it goes through the hull and flooding the ski and that there is a fix. Anybody know how?

Yeah, someone did their's not long ago and found a grommet or something at the local Lowes in the plumbing department, made by oatey.

I cant find it. Kinda Seems like the put rivets in it. My memory is rapidly going away!

If it leaks through the thru-hull fitting, then go to your local marine supply store (ex. West Marine) and get a tube of SIKAFLEX. Take the through hull apart (if its rivets, drill them out) then clean the surfaces real well. You dont have to worry about roughing up the surfaces. Mask around the exhaust hole, lay a nice bead on the thu-hull fitting and press it in, then squish it in tight. Get a paper towel with mineral spirits and wipe off the excess sikaflex. Then peel off the tape, and voila, perfect seal that will never leak, and will look factory. Remember to use Stainless rivets when re-installing the fitting.
