"It's been a little while since I've posted, but the boat runs this year! I have to replace the exhaust manifold hose. I read a post (not this forum, google search) about needing to remove the manifold also to replace the hose. w/o starting to remove it, I don't how much clearance there is. Does this sound right? Just need to know if I have to pull the boat out of the water. Ted"
 
"Hey Ted,

"Hey Ted,

I know what you are talking about. Its that small rubbery hose that links from the manifold that goes on to the transom shield leading out to the outboard.

Basiclaly you just need to undo the clamps and finangle with the rubbery boot in different ways to get it off. You shouldnt have to remove the entire manifold to remove it.

Let me know if you have any trouble."

"Ted, it has been awhile since I worked on 4 cyl OHC VPs, but I think I recall you have to remove the exhaust manifold to change the hose.

"I'm hoping for the "just finangle" way. I have an out of water project to do (stereo install), just trying to schedule stuff.

Thanks everyone. Ted"
