I am new to Carver boats and have a rookie question. Does the Kohler 7.3e generator's exhaust exit underwater or out a port side opening. I just purchased the boat and had not used the generator until we lost power at our yacht club Saturday evening. After checking the thru-hull seacock and strainer, I started the generator and expected to see water exiting an exhaust port, but there was no water, so I shutdown generator. Today I checked strainer again and the impeller. Both were good. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

On my 3607 the exit port is on the port side above the water line. You should be able to go into the engine compartment and follow the exhaust from the generator to the muffler to the side of the hull and see where it goes?

Re: Kohler 7.3e Generator Exhaust
Thanks RobGunn and g36. Your info is much appreciated. The previous owner had the black Carver case with all the manuals in it, at his house. The case was not put back on the boat after the survey. I had questions and the owner had to get info from the manuals, but all is good now and I have the original documentation. I found the page you refer to g36. Again, thanks for your quick replies.
