Re: 80s 3697 Generator Location
It is just above the water line. So you could do it with a battery powered drill once it's in the water.
I think it's a one inch line, but I can't guarantee that.

Re: 80s 3697 Generator Location
But I am not certain.
If you can wait till Saturday, I'll try to get some pix and measurements.

Re: 80s 3697 Generator Location
1. Muffler diameter
2. Approx location of muffler through transom hole (ex. from side and top of transom)
3. Approx dimensions of plywood base for Gen
4. Measurement of gen base to transom and side wall
5. Any others that you think might be important!
Generator is on the way so I hope to get it installed in the next few weeks if at all possible. Thanks for the help!

Re: 80s 3697 Generator Location
The exhaust exits the tension under the swim platform. Looks to be about 17.5" centerline from inside the hull bottom, and about 31" from inside the port hull side.
The genny pulley cover is about 32" from the transom
The genny manifold is about 8" from the inside port hull side.The closest point to the port engine exhaust is about 3".
The plywood underneath slabs from the engine stringer, across a minor stringer, and all the way to almost the hull side. Cutouts for genny through hull access and for engine mount nuts.
Pics attached

Re: 80s 3697 Generator Location
The first picture and third picture are sideways.
The exhaust goes out the transom, below the swim platform. You can see its bolt-on location by the backing bracket andthree fasteners. That's where the swim platform bolts through the transom.
