The Eagles exhaust can be wet or dry by opening or closing a through hull. However what comes out of the exhaust tail pipe is not as important as what goes thru the exhaust manafold and or engine. The Eagle had dry exhaust when we bought her, very hot and noise. So the exhaust system was changed to a hybrid design by an marine exhaust shop and myself. We did not like hated the dry exhaust, so we modified to a preferred wet muffler and water muffler, which also allow for optional dry. We have never used the dry option. Wet made the boat and engine room cool and quiet. The water muffler is mounted high so it self drains. Since we prefer wet keel cool was not considered.As mentioned before what is more important is not having raw water cool the engine or manifold, so we have dry fresh water engine manifold and wet exhausted where exhaust and water comes out of the exhaust pipe. As on old school rule hoses belts clamps should be replaced ever 10 years.Keel cool after being on the commercial dock and yard I would not covert to. First they are expesive to install and have to be sized correctly. There are 2 through hull holes rather than one. I had all the thru hulls filled in except the gen set and engine in takes.OPPS post to wrong discussion should be wet vs dry exhaust. Oh well!
