OK, so while I have the boat out in the sunlight and have the back
panel off to look for anything that myight need repairs, I noticed
that the previous owner muust have left water in the left exhaust
manifold and it froze and cracked. They have generous globs of JB Weld
over them and it held well, However I noticed that there is a bottom
crack where it seems the JB weld has cracked loose and I can see a bit
of rust.

Due to aftermarke, the price of a lot of these items has really come
down to being reasonable. I probably ought to change out the manifold
but it's a real bugger to take of where it sits. So, I'm going to chip
away at the repair to see how sound it is.

this isn't a presurized system so there's not any steam build up. And
the repair looks like it's held for quite a while, but is starting to
fail.

Does anyone know of a better smear on product to seal the crack? Or
should I jsut bite it and buy a new manifold?

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. Running around a lake where you don't
have far to go to shore is one thing, being out on the Ohio River is
totally another.

Bit still. It wouldn't hurt to have a tube of 'something' on board to
try to make a quick fix if necessary.

It wouldn't hurt to carry some JB Weld and Marine Tex in your on board

Those are on the check list...
--------
Maybe a couple of oversized hose clamps and a hunk of gasket material?

I ahve an old car innertube folded up and tied. It fits in a small
space. Yes, either a person could use it for a float device (air
compressor on board) or with a box knife it can make some temporary
but ready gaskets.

A beer box makes a pretty good gasket

True, but it doesn't wrap low pressure hoses very well, or at least I
dont' think they do.

Hmm, that reminds me

Duct Tape!

No, no... Like I noted above. Get some of that silicone stretch tape
advertised on TV. Lowes also sells a version in the plumbing dept. The
stuff is GOLD. It only sticks to itself, and it does it well. You can
seal a high pressure hose while it is leaking and under pressure, or
seal just about anything in an emergency. This is not Teflon Plumbers
tape, or Electrical tape as a friend of mine insisted until I gave him a
roll (he was a lifetime boiler repair and fuel oil guy), just find a
roll and play around with it. Like I said, it's as necessary as
vicegrips, and duct tape... Once you try it, you won't go without it.
Well, get the duct tape too

You oughta send us each a roll so's we could try it.

Be sure you get the mil spec duct tape. It will hold up to water, heat
and pressure better than the drug store stuff.

Yessir. People dont' understand that there is a "good stuff" grade of
duct tape . Most people think it's all the same....

What a sponge! Poor Freak has been unemployed for a decade, yet Johnny,
with his fat military pension, is scrounging for freebies.
It all started with his charity panhandling gig.

So what's in your tool kit. Hammer and 10 penny nails?



Depends on which tool kit you are asking about. I am a tool guy... Trust
me though, weather it's my framing bucket, my finish box, electrical,
plumbing, or mechanical box, they are full of good solid tools for the
job. I can pretty much grab a couple of boxes and head down to the
rental property and do what I need...

One day years ago when we were first in the computer industry, my wife
wanted to buy a new piece of software. I asked her if we already had
something similar, why she needed another one. She looked at me and
asked me, "how many hammers do you have"? I went down to the shop and
came back and said "I have 9 hammers down there, probably a couple more
here and there". She asked why and I said, "cause they all do something
different", she said, "there you go".

Anyway, back to my "toolbox". When I worked for Chevy I had a rule, the
second time I had to borrow a tool, it was time to buy it... Start from
there and you got my "toolbox"...
