Exhaust Elbow
The exhaust elbow on all wet exhaust engines is subjected to heat and salt water and is consequently very prone to corrosion. Initially Nanni used an aluminium casting with no provision for an anode. More recently an anode has been fitted but the inlet spigot still corroded very quickly. In at least one case in less than two years. The latest design (2012 model see picture) has a brass(?) inlet spigot which hopefully will last longer.
So keep an eye on your exhaust elbow. It is easy to remove and you should check it at least every two years.
