Log style questions & possible conversion to center riser for a 1984 mainship 36 dc?
Hi, new here, Owned this boat for 10 years.. I have twin 270 crusaders with log style manifolds with what looks to be block offs(spacer?) water outlet adapter(for closed cooling), 8" risers and elbow outlet. any clarafication is appreciated
can anyone tell me if the elbow outlet for this boat are 3" or 4"? (this is important to know ASAP)
I just moved the boat to get two new engines installed and im figuring out the manifold situation. I havent taken them off yet to check to make sure they are ok. I think its in my best interest to replace the risers and possibly re uses the manifold if they check out ok. I dont know the longevity of them and im trying to keep costs down.
Im looking at worst cast scenario(replacing all the manifolds and risers). and thus why i brought up converting to center riser since they are cheaper and I can run longer hose and connect it to the exsisting hose to save money.
from what i was told the manifolds and risers are steel however i know salt water is my enemy and dont want to ruin two new engines. any adivce and suggestions are appreciated. I have to go and take the manifolds off soon and have them pressurized and tested obviously.
Any help from fellow main ship owners is appreciated.
heres a pic for reference
thanks in advanced!
