Question
QUESTION: i have a yamaha inboard 4 cylinder 3.0L. I cracked the exhaust manifold and they only made the engine for 2 years back in the early 1990s. my boat is a 1994 VIP. It was build on a GM block. is it possible to use a mercruser manifold or any other manifold that is made for that engine. through the dealer a new one is 820.00. at that price it will not be in the water this year.

ANSWER: do you have a serial number.???   I can maybe get you one cheaper than 820 ...

QUESTION: here are all the numbers on the manifold: 4-1-93, 13-1911-BC or 00, B15

Answer
You are going to need the serial number, look on the cover of the carb...They changed the manifold a couple times and it does not look like a merc one will fit...is the manifold one piece or does it have end caps on it...or can you get me a picture of it??
