anyone know if my boat should have a separation plate between the exhaust manifold and elbow. Dont have one in there now and I am still overheating. Thought the separation plate was for close system. # 9 in the pic.

Look at it this way. If you have a hose going to the exhaust elbow (riser) then you need a separation plate. If you don't have a hose going to the exhaust elbow then you do not. Without a hose going to the exhaust elbow you need water coming from the exhaust manifold to pass through to the elbow and out the exhaust
You know I might have misspoke. According to the manual it still shows a vented separation plate. If something is vented then it doesn't separate in my books. Figured since it has a hose going to and from the cooling then it could be separated, but who knows. Maybe put one in and see what heat changes.
