Bob:
I replaced mine several years ago. All I remember is it was a major pain,
but I was able to do it. I bought the replacement unit from Golden State
Diesel. It's been about 6 or 7 years now.
sorry I couldn't be more help.
Bill

If you own an Ericson-built boat with a Universal M-16 motor and have fixed/replaced a leaking exhaust riser I need your advice. It looks like the riser was installed on the motor before the cabinetry was built around the motor box. I've managed to get the 3 nuts unfastened, but the studs are so long that I can't pull the old riser off because of the lack of room to the back of the motor box.
It seems my Hobson's choices are to cut off the studs to remove the riser or cut an access hole in the back of the motor box. The riser itself looks like it was put together by a handyman with surplus parts from a plumbing supply shop. I'm assuming it's original equipment, but who knows?
Anyway, any help or advice is appreciated.
Hope everyone is well. Those of us on the West Coast are enjoying unseasonably warm weather on SF Bay and loving it.
