carver 360 sport sedan, port engine muffler developed a crack at the bottom where it hit the
support bracket.

Is this a standard fiberglass repair (sand,mesh,resin,paint) or is something special (non-flammable) required?
Thanks
 
You might call up a place like Centek and see if they have advice.
 
Best way is to remove it to see the complete crack and not the part thats leaking . But Yes, simple fiberglass repair, sand, clean with acetone, apply glass material, apply resin or epoxy.
 
I had this happen on our last boat. I took it to a local fiberglass repair guy. He fixed it and never leaked again.
 
I burned the exhaust flange on my Centak waterlift muffler when I had a bad riser that clogged and cut water flow. I took it to a fiberglass shop and they fabricated a new flange and glassed it into the muffler body-$200-way much less than a new muffler and its going strong 3 years later. Repair is the way to go-just make sure they know what they are doing.
