1995 325 Muffler blown

Postby rbutler1959 » July 11th, 2023, 12:33 pm

I have a 1995 325 aft cabin with twin Crusader 350XL motors. The port side muffle is cracked and leaking. I searched the Owners manual and can’t find the part number or any reference to it. It looks like a Centek 1600507? The intake and outlet are 5”. Anyone know where I might find the part number and supplier?

Thanks…

That'll probably run you over $1K. I would be repairing it or taking it to a fiberglass shop to do it.

Apparently they got all the prints/drawings for all the Centek stuff when they went out of business. When I had to replace two fiberglass components in my exhaust system, they had one piece in stock and the other they created based on the original designs from Centek. Not cheap, but good quality and pretty quick turn-around.

Unless something just happened, Centek is still in business as far as I know. When did this happen?!

I misspoke.....as is typical! :banghead: I am trying to remember the back story I was told but it has been awhile. I think it was that when Carver went out of business, Centek at some point stopped making the parts and then Inetmarine got the prints and maintained the support. Or something like that. :confused:

Good catch - my memory ain't what it used to be!!

Yep, easiest way is to have a fiberglass shop rebuild it. Friend of mine just had the same issue, could not find replacement. That was a 94 Sea Ray. Good luck! 8-) er
