Out either side or the stern. I'd say in a new install, out either side is likely the easiest as you don't have to try and run the exhaust hose through the aft cabin. Are you doing this yourself or hiring someone? A lot of things to consider.

Look into doing an underwater exhaust system. You'll thank me later :)

Does the underwater exhaust system make a big difference in silencing

Yes it does. The water is discharged under the water line and the exhaust is above the water line. Makes a big difference in the noise level.

Will this be a new or used marine unit, and do you have full installation instructions for that model?
