T&T: Muffler Replacement

[Keith]

If it's leaking salt water, it's probably also leaking exhaust gases 
including CO. I'd sure replace it. Also, if you agreed to fix the things on 
the survey report for the insurance company, not doing so can render your 
policy useless. It won't matter whether the muffler was at fault if 
something else happens, but they can deny coverage. You could patch it for 
awhile by wrapping it with resin impregnated fiberglass.
