Lift muffler?

[Mike Schmidt]

Can anyone tell me if this is a lift muffler? All I know is this exits water below the waterline and exhaust gas above the waterline (via the 6″ hose on top). I know the black generator muffler in the background is a lift, but just don’t know about the engine muffler.

I need to know because I want to install fresh water flush to the output port on the raw water pump to run with the engine off. Everything is downhill after the mixer, so nothing should back up into the engine… unless this is a lift muffler.

This IS NOT a lift muffler–If all down hill from the mixer to this and there in nothing in-between, nothing to worry about–The water will just go out the bottom of the boat

Yep, same setup here (this is a Meridian). So if the exhaust is downhill from the mixer, can I do an engine-ff flush or is this a lift muffler?
