Ayuh,.... You've got a 4 bolt y-pipe on a 3 bolt transom housing,....

I've heard it could be done, just never tried it...

Re: this does not look right

sorry i posted it in the wrong place to begin with. this is on a 4.3 so at some point someone has been in here and replaced the y pipe. no telling how long it was like that should i look for the proper y pipe or leave well enough alone

Use the correct pipe unless you want to sink the boat!!!

Re: this does not look right

For what it is worth, Mercruiser officially says that is not a problem. It seems some of the boat manufacturers mixed the various transom assemblies and used whatever they had on hand - mixed and matched the inline and y pipe transom assemblies. My boat came like that from the factory - never had any issues.

I did a search - Here's the post where I had a similar issue. Look at post #10 in the link.
