Trident Marine 6" ID Blue Silicone Molded Wet Exhaust Hump w/4 T-Bolt Clamp

The Trident Marine 6" ID Blue Silicone Molded Wet Exhaust Hump with 4 T-Bolt Clamp is a heavy-duty flexible connector designed for marine wet exhaust systems requiring superior heat tolerance and vibration isolation. Built from VHT blue silicone with EPDM reinforcement, this hump hose accommodates engine misalignment, thermal expansion, and vessel movement while maintaining system integrity in demanding saltwater and freshwater environments. The four integral T-bolt clamps provide secure, tool-free installation without requiring additional fasteners.

The 6-inch inner diameter accommodates standard marine exhaust manifold outlet sizes found on mid-range inboard and I/O engines. Silicone construction delivers significantly greater temperature resistance than rubber-only alternatives, critical for wet exhaust systems where exhaust gases contact cooling water. The molded design eliminates the need for custom fabrication or multiple hose segments and clamps, reducing labor time, material costs, and potential leak points. Dimensions of 8 x 8 x 8 inches allow flexible routing through tight engine room spaces where rigid piping cannot navigate.

This component is essential for operators maintaining inboard marine powerplants—commercial fishing vessels, offshore patrol craft, recreational performance boats, and military small craft. The blue silicone construction resists saltwater corrosion better than rubber, extending service life in harsh marine environments. Engine movement from rough seas, thermal cycling from rapid power changes, and vibration from propulsion loads all create stress points that standard rigid exhaust systems cannot accommodate; this hump hose absorbs those dynamic forces and prevents coupling failures, cracked manifolds, and exhaust leaks.

Trident Marine's molded silicone humps represent the marine industry standard for flexible wet exhaust connections. The part number 270V6000-S/S confirms stainless steel T-bolt hardware, offering galvanic protection against corrosion in saltwater duty.
