If I remove the exhaust elbows and/or risers to get at the top of the y-pipe while the boat is in the water, am I going to sink my boat?!
It doesn't seem like it would but of course I have to ask.
I have a 1996 Mercruiser 5.7L in a 26' Bayliner. It has sea water cooling for the exhaust, coming from a heat exchanger for the engine cooling. Due to some previous overheating, I have been strongly advised by folks on this forum to inspect/replace the exhaust shutters. The engine may have been overheating at idle for quite a while before I bought it.
