    Plumbing manifold needed.

    I need a replacement for this manifold. 2002 30’ sundancer. Part number and vendor would be great. Or a totally different one that would pair up to existing plumbing would also be great. TIA.

    Metal Flakes in my Cooling System. Manifold? Should I worry?

    I just bought a 1997 Sea Ray 175 3.0 merc Alpha One. I was just feeling how soft the water hoses were by squeezing them and the elbow at the pump crunched. I took it off and found this: Should I pull the manifold and other cooling parts clean or replace? Is this the manifold flaking...

    DRY JOINT manifold for 4.3l - non OEM feedback

    I know there will be some strong opinions about the OEM version being the best. I would like to understand what makes the OEM so much better. My feedback request is specifically for the DRY JOINT version being it already is a better design to protect against water getting in to the exhaust...

    How to Freshwater Flush an Alpha One While In the Water (No Muffs)

    I have been searching this forum and other internet sites and I can't find a definitive answer on how to flush the elbows (aka-risers) and manifolds on my 2005 Sea Ray 185 Sport (4.3l Alpha 1) while in the water and NOT using muffs. Biggest issue I believe is the Alpha 1 has the impeller in the...

    Manifold advice

    My boat is freshwater only, relatively low hours for an '87, and the manifold is a bit rusted and has been leaking slightly for a few years. Engine has been well maintained and running great. It seems to be cooling ok, though one side seems a bit hotter than the other. I've been afraid to try...

    1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7...Mercrusier Engines or Lemons?

    This is my story about having to replace not one or two engines, but now seven Mercruiser engines on my Sea Ray, and what I’ve learned along the way which will hopefully be helpful to you. First, you might initially think, judging by the sound of it, I’m into racing “go fast” boats that go...

    How much coolant should come out?

    I tackled a project this week to repair some leaky remote oil tubes and seals (the ones in back, behind the engine). So I had to remove the exhaust manifold and riser just to access it. My question is: How much coolant should have come out when I opened the petcock on the bottom of the...
