Just stick a patch on it about 5 mins and £50.00 .
Hopefully the top of the aluminium exhaust horn is not corroded to much where it comes into contact with the hose , usually under the the hose clip.
Horn will be almost impossible to remove from the transom assembly due to age .
Apparently the carbon in the hose is not friends with aluminium.
However hope is at hand at least for your diesel and it works.
Volvo Penta KAD and TAMD 3.5 inch corroded exhaust repair kit, Part Number 3581114

The elbow is cast iron ... not alluminium. This is a Volvo Penta AQ170 ... based on the old 3 litre 6 cyl Volvo 164 car engine.

Honest question : What relevance has that part to my problem ?
The hole is in the cast iron elbow ...

Because if your welder can’t do the job....you need a plan B

Plan B is to buy a new elbow - which is nothing like 'oldgits' alloy one.

Since there might have been some pooling of water causing the corrosion (if I recall correctly a previous post from you) then I would think about stainless steel

Hi Bouba ... I don't plan to have this boat that long !!
The original cast elbow is probably as old as the engine ... a 1970's job.

surface where the gasket fits looks rather tired, maybe pass it twice on a lathe to flatten it? unless it's the pic lighting playing tricks...
weld looks solid though!

I used a belt sander with a cause grit paper to remove the old gasket and cleanup the flange

I'm sure the engineer will sort !!
Engineer is a totally misunderstood and misused term.
Would never trust anyone who clams they are an " Engineer "

I have to be careful here .... I was a Deck Officer and there was always the saying "Oil and Water do not mix" ...............

Yes I agree
I do understand that there is a distinct difference in the accountable. responsibility between Deck officers and Ship Engineering Offices.
One of the issues I have is that ship officers who are charged with surveying our small boats like ours really don't. understand the difference
In any case its the Master who is accountable for the safety of the vessel, crew and all on board and no real difference between ships and small boats except the damage they can make to all on the sea.
The ouzo small vessel is a case in point. If she is bigger than you, he has right of way "might is right"
