    As you were told previously, there is no repair, pull engine and replace it.

    It looks pretty ratty to me! Maybe do as Bomar suggested, or block it off completely, and go thru-hull exhaust.

    Thumbs up Re: Exhaust Y-Pipe internal pitting how to repair

    After removing the pipe there are many more pits, I found the $450-500 part on e-bay for under a $100 new. Looks like engine replacement company's get them in with new engines and do not always need them.
