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.

I agree, they are way past their life expectancy. There are a number
of economical after market replacements. Do both the manifolds and
risers. Are they log style or center riser?

I take it they are the log type. This would be the best description:

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.

There's a better way. Buy two threaded studs or create your own by
cutting off the heads of a couple of bolts. Screw them into the
block temporarily so you can hang the new manifold on them while you
start the remaining bolts.

Buy a boat that isn't disintegrating. Tom has a couple of boats he
doesn't use.

Kroil is the real deal... if this doesn't free the bolts up, nothing
you'll spray from a can will.
