Back Pressure
In Response To: Yanmar exhaust system diameter ()

Exhaust back pressure is critical , particular with a turbo engine. You must use gauges and check during full power when doing a sea trial.
To get the engine warranty from John Deere their mechanic spent 9 hours inspecting my installation, including raw water flow and pressure.
Instruments and gauges for everything.That was 7 years ago. I was impressed. The engine has performed flawlessly.
