In 2008 I purchased and fitted a new Volvo Penta water cooled exhaust. This comprises a length of rubber hose diam about 200 mm with a stainless steel fitting attached by a large jubilee clip at each end. The new one was to replace the original that had rotted out. The new one also rotted out but this time in less that two years. The supplier although surprised pointed out that the warranty was for 12 months. Has anyone else experienced such a problem. I do run the engine through with fresh water at the end of each season but don't use antifreeze (Through the raw water system) as the boat is stored ashore where it never freezes in the Med.
