Hi guys, just fitted a warehouse hobbies m5 motor kit with clutch in to my Aquacraft Rio 51 and was wondering if i could fit a tube onto the exhaust that goes into the water to reduce the engine noise?

Thanks

It wont be in the water while on plane anyhow.
The best way is to go brushless :)
You can buy little silencers for the end of the pipe that help a bit, but it's still a noisy 2 stroke.

Thanks was gonna go brushless but cant beat 30 minute run times! What if the tubes long enough though its only for the maiden run until my silencer arrives.

I once saw a fitting in the exhaust and then a cooling tube to it, I thought that was to quiet it down alittle but not sure what that fitting was for

No what i mean is a tube on the end of the pipe going in to the water would this work?
