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?

BITE!- Hide quoted text -

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!

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"...

That's funny. Bonnie keeps using his spell checker to try to look smart
but really, everyone knows he is a HS dropout like his buddy Harry..

If anyone here is a high school dropout, it is you. Really, Scott...it
is rare these days to encounter someone as dimwitted as you are.

The Freak is a throwback to the olden days when boys left school early to to
work and support their families. My own father was forced to do this to help
his blind mother (Halifax Explosion victim) after his father abandoned them
in the late 1920's
Except... Freak has/had no interest in real work.
I still wonder where he got the $650.00 cash he claims the cops stole from
him.
