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?

If you are talking about the exhaust elbow, as it sounds you are,
probably the easiest way to handle it is to take it off and take it to
a good welding shop and have a new one made. Seldom does iron pipe
develop a single pinhole leak in normal use, it is usually an
indication that there is substantial corrosion inside the pipe.

By the way, Nominal Diameter 1 inch pipe has an actual O.D. of 1.315,
3/4" = 1.050 and 1-1/4 = 1.660.
