Go to the Gallery and look under 1997 - Rayzorback's 1997 Shabbah 210LE. There are pictures there.

Thank you razorback, great pics, love the boat, I couldnt tell by the pics, is there about an inch space between swimdeck and exhaust, they are still waiting to install, what are the mariha exhaust tips some are talking about being so pretty, the installer said our deck will only be one inch above exhaust, I was worried about heat etc.

Re: Captain's call exhaust and swim platforms.
 

My exhausts were aftermarket round ones with flappers. I think they were more like 2-3 inches below the swim deck. I mounted my swim deck right under the rub rail. No heat/melting issues but did have some dark discoloration on the under side of the swim deck (Exhaust smoke),

Factory Mariah tips are chrome oval shape without flappers.

Heat tape on the underside of the swim deck might help ease your mind.

Hope this helps.

Did you ever have any backwash problems with the exhausts?

I've got a set of CC exhausts but haven't fitted them as I also want to fit a swim platform.
I have been worried about backwash under the platform.

The set I have are not original Mariah and have rubber flappers as well as the interior butterflies.

Here is an update about my swinplatform , having it installed, I have captains call rear exhaust, will not fit, having to take out rear and go to side exhaust, thats another 800.00.Would like to help other Mariha owners that are planning to purchase a swimplatform to SEND THEM A REAR PICTURE OF YOUR BOAT EVEN IF THEY KNOW YOUR MAKE AND MODEL. ill post a pic when installed, the swimplatform is beautiful though.Thanks to all posts , if anything, I became more educated in this department. Haha

Never had any problems with "backwash", but then again, I don't stop my boat and let the water wash over the back.

I use a more gradual stop style. I stop then idle/rev as needed untill the "backwash" has passed me, then idle before stopping. (Hope that makes sense)

Re: Captain's call exhaust and swim platforms.
 

Makes perfect sense (and good boating practice :yes_grin:)

My concerns have more to do with boating in the salty stuff. You know the stuff with waves!:shakehead:

I'm worried about back wash while the boat is stationary and I get wash or a wave come up from behind. I know that's what the flappers are there for but just thought I'd ask. :wink_thumbup:

The Lake we boat on is known to have very large wakes put out by other boats and if it is windy it is even worse.
We actually spend most of our time either anchored in a cove (that gets a lot of wake action from skier/tubers) or just drifting out in the middle of the lake. I have never had any issue with "backwash" from either boats or waves.

That's good to hear :wink_thumbup:
