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
tool
kit.- Hide quoted text -

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
---------.
That's a great addition! inner tube rubber is great stuff, can flash a patio
roof around palm trees or make a slingshot!

Yeah, get a couple rolls of that plumbers tape they have on the tv
commercials for 9.99 for three rolls, "BUT WAIT"! IF YOU BUY NOW! Yup,
of all the crap on TV, that stuff works great, on a lot of stuff.

And a tube of "Shoe Goo" type adhesive too.. Stuff is as important as
ViceGrips, and Duct tape!
