    You appear to be showing different manifolds. 1 looks like it is sheet metal riser held together wit just a few tack welds. Do not buy them if they really look like that picture.

    Leak into bilge, bellows?

    I would relocate the bilge pump outlet hose. To a much higher outlet on the transom. Allow for a full load of the boat to determine where the outlet should be. Check valves can stick open. I do the higher outlet hose way.

    Prop Selection - Bayliner 175

    There is a simple reason for a prop with more blades. The torque at the prop shaft is more than a 2 blade can EFFICIENTLY use. The prop......Blows out...... starts cavitating with bubbles forming on the prop blades. A major reason why most 5 bladed props fail with high speed, high horsepower...
