Default Replacing exhaust manifolds and risers

Based on preliminary advice from 2 members of this NG I may be looking at
replacing the exhaust manifolds and risers on my 4.3L 1997 Volvo Penta.

The engine compartment on this boat is small and even an oil filter change
is difficult.

Knowing that does the replacement of the manifolds and risers mean the
engine has to be pulled? The boat is a 1997 Glaston GS209.

TIA!


If you can reach under the manifolds to get to the bolts, you certainly
shouldn't have to pull the engine!

Did you replace yours or have a mechanic do it? Did they have to pull
the engine?

I've removed and replaced them twice, once for inspection and cleaning, the
other after they plugged up.

No, I did not pull my engine.
