I’ve seen something like that done on older Honda four-strokes using a length of vacuum cleaner hose. The Hondas have a short exposed exhaust pipe under the head which rots out filling the area under the hood with fumes. This fix looks easier to do though on the 9.5’s with the carb opening pointing straight up! MacGyver will be proud of this one!
If the rest of the motor is in good shape you should get the owner to break out the tools and attempt to preserve this classic! Who knows, he might even enjoy doing it!
