Doing a bunch of maintenance on my new to me boat
2007 Volvo Penta 5.0 GXI (2007 Cobalt 212)
This started out with removing the exhaust pipe and riser so that I could have easy access to the steering actuator to remove and rebuild and three out of the four bolts on the riser snapped, clean and the manifold. I then proceeded to remove the manifold and riser assembly as one unit so that I could work on it at home with separating and bolt extraction and then also see how bad the risers rusted out if that's the case.
In any event, I wanted to order new manifold gaskets. I looked up the engine number on Volvo penta's website and it's telling me that the part number for the exhaust manifold gasket is
And the picture shows an exhaust manifold gasket that has the two inner ports open
But when I search for that part number let's say on Amazon it's giving me aftermarket ones that have the two inner ports closed.
Leaderrpm website also shows the two middle ports open
Unfortunately, the previous owner of this boat didn't use OEM gaskets. It's some type of aftermarket gasket and I can't tell if it was open or closed either.
Getting kind of confused between fresh water and raw water and closed cooling terminology used online. All I can say is that my engine cooling system does not use coolant. It has a water pump on the front that pulls water from the lake.
Here's a few pictures of it. Helps. Appreciate the advice guys.
