No, don't have one, haven't heard of it either. What kind of store is it?

AD, at this point I would try the hump hose. Multiple vendors out there selling it, or you might find it locally at an exhaust shop or speed shop that caters to turbo cars. Good luck - I know all about those projects that like to crap the bed over and over.

Agree, its a boat so its going to happen, sure wish it didn't happen so often

Was ready to spend 70 each for silicone hump hoses but then I found some new old stock Trident rubber ones on ebay for 20 each. Bought 6 at that price, will be looking for pipe now. Taking the drive to the Merc dealer this morning

They make custom hydraulic hose and exhaust hose, heater hose, flexible exhaust hose pretty muchevery hose you can imagine.

Called and emailed Purosil and discussed. Larry Scott said he will get his engineers on it and give me a call back. Also called eddie marine and asked them. EMI indicated my current setup will not work and I should have bought there 3+ system which also dropped back down after the manifolds. The guy offered to take mine back but I had bungs installed so that was a no-go. Another $2600 will get me a new set which will work. Man this black could keeps coming.

Called my local welding shop and ask if they can do some mods for me, they said sure. So unless I hear something tonight I'm taking my elbows to them tomorrow. I was sure after getting my new hump boots and pipe I could make this work, was not going to happen





What is not working:
Fuel gauge is not working, maybe its a digital sender, don't know
Trim limit is not working
Trim gauge is pegged in the red zone

More to come later

Not sure what brand it was but I saw a motor with risers that looked like that and they had some custom "Wedges" that went between the riser and manifolds. Looked like maybe it changed the angle about 5-10 degrees more down. Dont know if a welder/fab shop could make some for you but I would think they could for under 250.00 or so.

AD, just noticed that you are also in KY. Where are you located? If I can do anything to help you out, the offer's there - although you might not want me around for fear that my boating cluster black cloud might start following you as well.

I'm in Cumberland county.. Hey Bud your could cannot be any worst then mine

Took the elbows in this AM and they are going to shorten them up 8 inches. This will give my 14 inches to use a hose to connect to the tips. I ordered some Flex hose (flex that's a joke) and hope I can make it work. If all else fails again, I'll take the pipe which was cut off and use it with the hump boots.

Sure hope I can get it in the water before fall

Cycled the key on/off and heard the fuel pump turn on. Did it a few more times and think the fuel rail could be primed now. With the fuel gauge not could be a larger problem. Turned the key on and left it that way for a bit, mean while I unplugged the lube bottle and connected them together. No alarm from that nor the oil pressure switch. The battery gauge does come up so that's working. Need to dig further into the wiring.

You are a little further away from me than I thought. I'm near Louisville.

Will shortening the risers by that much expose you to the possibility of reversion? If any concerns here, maybe he could take that inner pipe that he cuts off and weld it back on at a downward angle towards the tips. Then you can put your rubber hose on to connect everything, and you will still have the extra length of inner riser as a hedge against reversion.

Haven't heard anything about having to worry about reversion. They just wanted me to go up 3 inches because my boat sits so low in the water. When the engine was taken apart all the pistons showed slight signs of water getting in with stock engine. There was a couple times I had to shut it down quick, like when the alarm went off do to water pump belt broke.

I have a high lift cam but the separation is not that great, at least to the what I have been told.

I lived most my life in Louisville, spent many years on the river, still like the river
