Measure the outlet of the riser on the exhaust manifold.

Most people pay big money to have through hull exhaust installed.

You want to get rid of it?

It looks like a 10 min project to convert it over. NONE of the elbows on ebay have any measurements. I would assume there is some standard distance from the riser to the outlets........

Nope,... There's Several y-pipes, Several risers,+ Several elbows to choose from,....
You might try lookin' em up in a Mercruiser on-line parts lookup, by the Serial # of the motor/ drive...
Or just go 'n measure what's there...
3" or 4" in,... 3" or 4" out, round or oval...

Maybe I was being a bit vague. I already know there are 4 inch diameter pipes. I am wondering about distance. I guess its worth it for $20 gamble since they are $70 a piece new. What confuses me is NONE of the websites I visited give length, so I guess that is a standard distance. I understand there is 3inch, 4inch, and 5 inch diameters.

Here is what I bought...

Here is what I could find online....(notice no lengths)
