buy a new manifold?

Buy the manifold you cheapskate. *:)

Eh, not that cheap Tom. But was weighing out the hassle of the change
out. But it is best to be safe. Like I mentioned, for local running it
wouldn't be a big bother, but doing a 150-200 mile river run (one way)
That's different.

Buy it shall be.

When I did mine, I rigged some twine so I could take the weight of the manifold
around my neck. This left hands free to get it centered, get nuts started, etc.
If you have two people, it wouldn't be such a pain to replace them.

Oh, be ready to buy new bolts and nuts also.
