I am the new owner of a 36 built in 1988.  One of the items noted on the pre-purchase survey was the exhaust hose.  It has cracks and needs to be replaced.  I have removed the mattress and the "shelf" from the aft cabin/berth, and I'm trying to figure out how the hose gets from the muffler to the transom lazarette.

From the muffler, it goes to the port side, and I can open the sliding doors there and see it going up and into a hole.  I expected that this hole would go into the port side cockpit lazarette, but I can't see the hose there!  I also can't see where the hose is entering the transom lazarette.  

Can anyone help solve this mystery?  I will take some pictures the next time I am on the boat.

Thanks!
