My buddy just picked up a 1982 Century Rivera 6 Meter. It's his first boat. I found it for him and it only has one issue. It has the 5.7 and one of the exhaust tubes, the flexible gates black rubberized with a spring running through it for support hoses, has a tiny hole where it curves down off the manifold to the thru hull. We are looking for stainless exhaust elbows for a replacement. Any suggestions on where to find a decent deal on them? It has 4in. tubes. Thanks!

Re: Exhaust elbows

you probably won't find a steel replacement for that rubber hose....the hose provides some flex because the motor does flex on the motor mounts...a steel pipe would not provide any flex and thus would crack :cool:

I just want elbows. I plan on using the flexible hose to connect the manifolds to the elbows then use flex hose from the elbow to the thru hull exhaust. I really ony need the stainless elbows to make the curve.
