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? "Lawrence James" wrote in message nk.net... Would that be replacing both manifolds and risers? You need to replace it all. "Matt" wrote in message ... 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! |
