Thanks for the answers! l’m relieved that no one yet recognizes it as a Mercruiser part, it just appeared seemingly out of nowhere and I was starting to sweat it now that the boat is almost done!

…what the curved wire is; found it on the ground after reattaching gearbox to the boat hull.

Thanks for the input, I was wondering what you guys would do with a gearbox gear oil leak… Is there a set of O-rings (besides the one little one by the impeller housing) where the bottom part meets the top part, or would it be something to do with the prop?

When we replaced the riser, the exhaust flapper was just not there, like it disintegrated into the twilight zone. My brother-in-law who helped, he checked the entire exhaust pipe, found nothing. Man the boat runs so much better now.

Aha, salt water’s kinda harsh.

Boat fixed, runs like a champ! look at the long-neglected manifold and exhaust riser. The dude must've took them off and soaked them in his bathtub for two years, what a chump. Exhaust manifold water inlets... Exhaust riser Exhaust riser (Manifold side)

Thank you very much 👍🏻
