Water injection nipple on black iron pipe
Ric,
You have not told us enough. First I suspect that this iron pipe is not. It
most likely is a special casting. The casting probably is porous and hence
the leak. This is not uncommon. You will have to source the casting and buy
a new one or you will have to fabricate a replacement. Fabrication will be
more expensive. Find out who marinized the engine, locate them on the web
and call. If you are not successful, fabrication is your only solution.

I have a pinhole in the piece of black iron pipe where the water in
injected in my boats exhaust system.
I am trying to find a source for a similar piece of pipe. It is about
1.25 in diameter with a 5/8ths nipple installed at a 45 degree angle.
Appears to be galvanized or black iron.
Any ideas?
Ric
