Robin,
I can't add much to what has been said/recommended above, but wanted to ask you (assuming you also have a Volvo DS3 - 110) about the part no of the muffler and where you ordered it.

Re: Flexible Prop which one for SM?
Hi Kent,
I have a Perkins similar to TMD22.
Thank's a lot for your offer, but I think, that I will have the problem of the housing, because my hull is from 1994 with the number 124. Yours is 243,

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Re: melted muffler
Hi robin. Have you thought to take the end off the intake end of the heat exchanger. It can get blocked with debris, particularly if you have had a previous failure of thexestrr pump impeller.

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] melted muffler
Hi Robin,
I had this happen once on Kimberlite. Fortunately I had a spare.
