Short snorkel fitting was created by Vinnie
Anyone fitted a short snorkel ? I've got no destructions and really can't see how the round flexy pipe fits to an oval hole and is water tight or how the other end fits to the original plastic part ?


Cheers vinnie.

My apologies Vinnie, I did query it with my supplier, but they don't have any instructions :(

Some resources though -

Cheers Dave but surly that flexi pipe isn't right going onto that oval part on body itself with a load of mastic ?
The flexi is steel reinforced so its not going to crush up and seal ??

I thought I had to cut other end though


Cheers vinnie

Supplier siad thats the trade off when you buy a cheap snorkel!
I wasnt impressed with that response but it can work really well. I didn't buy it for the price but cos I prefer the look of the short one, dont like the big plastic pipe down the wing.
Took a bit of plastic welding and some big jubilee clips to get it right but is well sealed and a neat job.
