All,
1984 Mercrusier 260 5.7 Liter: Was taking on water a couple weeks ago along with a gurgling sound. . Pulled the boat, pulled off the elbows and ran water through both sides of the Y pipe with a hose....saw the water coming in from very bottom of the transom. Have to assume it is the Y pipe....FYI, the flappers were fine...
Someone close by has some used Mercruiser parts for sale: They have a Y pipe from a 1990 5 liter. I assume this will fit? Should I also pick up a transom shield if cheap enough? I'd like to have everything I would potentially need (within reason) before I pull the motor. I know there is a gasket for the Y pipe...anyone know the correct name so I can order it?
Thanks for your help.....any other tips would be welcome.
Thanks
