Default Mechanics / Boat Savy: Exhaust Manifold & Thermostat Housing

I'm not sure... Basically the mechanic said Exhaust Manifold was $640 new.
Looking at the Mercruiser site. 1 exhaust manifold is approx $170 an
Exhaust Elbox Assemby is about $150 and a Riser Extension Kit is about $175.
Should I confirm with the Marina if he is replacing all? Also usually do
they replace both Manifolds?

Would that be replacing both manifolds and risers? You need to replace it
all.

Hi,

I ran into a problem a few weeks ago, long story short: Water in the

oil.
My boat is a 1994 w/ 350 MAG v8 5.7 liter engine. I brought my boat to

my
trusty (i hope) marina mechanic. He stated that it was the Exhaust

Manifold
and Thermostat housing. He said that, probably before i had the boat,

it
was in salt water alot (which it was) and rotted through. I trust him
because before he started any work he said it could be a cracked block

and
a
few other things, but the best case would be exhaust manifold (cheapest

of
them all, eventhough i found out his version of cheap isn't the same as
mine). He gave me a price of $1600 for total repair (includes $640 for

NEW
exhaust manifold, approx 400 for housing, 2-3 oil changes (to make sure

no
more water), labor) he said i could save about $300 if he finds a used
manifold, so that's what I'm hoping.

Anyone have any insight on this? Reasonable price?

Thanks!
