Title: Cracked exhaust manifold
Post by: damstarr on June 24, 2012, 07:29:53 PM: So I took out my new to me boat today (1978 centurion 21ft I/O) I know not a jet. Lol but it got hot on me and started spraying water/steam from a hairline crack on both exhaust manifolds. 1.... Are these repairable (weld?) 2.... Will the cracks alone cause heating issues?
