Boating in salt is like a night and day difference. The smell of the air ,tides , current, shifting shoals, and the list goes on is well worth the price of admission and then some.
View attachment 71887 View attachment 71888 thx to this club I took everyone’s advice and decided to repair as you guys put it a ticking time bomb. Got 12 years out of them and replaced.

I get that for sure having been a gulf islander Hornby and Gabriola for 20 years and living a few of those on a 100ft wooden boat with a big old gardner 8 cyl and a blow boat in gulfport Florida for a few years . Those boats did not have the issues of cost replacing major integral cooling components though..Boating in salt is like a night and day difference. The smell of the air ,tides , current, shifting shoals, and the list goes on is well worth the price of admission and then some.
WOW, never saw one that bad!! Good thing you did them now, salt water boat??
Oh wow you poor salt water buggers I've read over and over on the necessity of replacing at 5 to 7 year intervals and last year examined mine when I changed all engine hoses belts butterfly valves and exhaust tubes . Good clean cold freshwater must be good for them because at 30 years old this year mine are mint. I imagine if I were salt water I would be looking at a full closed system because the above scenario and or high dollar maintenance scares the crap outa me.
WOW!!! Those were pretty bad, hope you get the engine unlocked manThat's bad but mine were worse. Check this out, the tip of the elbow broke off and was lodged in the exhaust tube. Needed a chisel and hammer to dislodge it. I had the boat for 3 years so who knows how long it was like this.
