Boat motor cylinders filling with water.

[walb0244]

Pulled the exhaust manifold and riser this morning off the motor. Took the riser and exhaust manifold apart. Capped off the hoses on the exhaust manifold and filled the water jacket with water to look for a leak in the manifold. Water started coming out of cylinder 7 opening pretty quick. So know that the exhaust manifold is bad. Now to find one. Any ideas where to pick up one for a good price?

Walb0244, good to hear you found your leak. Glad it was not the head, but disapointed that it wasn't as cheap as just the gasket between the manifold and the riser. Hopefully Google can help you find a manifold for a decent price.

Ordered the exhaust manifold off of skidim.com Didn't want to order a used one worried I would get stuck with someone else's headache. 250 for the exhaust manifold, riser gasket, exhaust manifold gasket, and shipping. So all in all not too bad. Still glad it wasn't the head. i'm just hoping that when I put it together that it actually fixes the problem.

Ok. Skidim is telling me that Indmar is out of exhaust manifolds and it is on back order. So was looking at two other places to purchase the manifold

Anybody got any ideas about either place. The manifolds are 100 cheaper.

Have a look at inboardonline.com, I saw some on there. Good luck.

walb, how many hours do you have on it?, and has this boat been used in salt water?

[walb0244]

The boat has roughly 350 hours on it. I'm not sure if the boat has been used on salt water or not due to me getting it as a repo. The boat was sold in Indianapolis so I wouldn't think they would bring a repo from the coast to here to sell it but who knows. Why do you ask?
