Check with these guys, I have found them to be the best parts source for my 6LP

Just be sure you are sitting down when you get the prices. You should also replace the v-clamp that connects the elbow to the exhaust bend and the crush gasket too.

You can also contact Marine Manifold Corp in Farmingdale, NY. 631-694-0714 speak with Paul.
They make excellent quality custom riser/elbows. Bring yours and let them quote, you might be pleasanlty surprised at the cost compared to an OEM, and it might last longer as well.

Good to know J, thanks for posting. And not far from me at all.

I am glad I did not pay full price for mine. It was on my "to do" list and I happened to find it new on eBay for $250 so I grabbed it.

Jinxed again. Last spring, I had removed my exhaust elbow for replacement but found it to be in very good condition. After a call to Mack Boring to confirm it was ok to put it back in, I did so. Saturday morning the v-clamp failed while just getting the boat warmed up. I had smoke coming from all vents and hatches and filling the pilot house. A quick check to confirm no fire or water leaks calmed the nerves. Idled the few hundred yards back to the marina, another day no fishing.

I talked to Standish about the failure and am told that it is not unheard of. So like Rob said, replace the v-clamp and crush gasket.

Another thumbs up for Bayshore. I go in there every spring and the parts guy is awesome. I tell him my model engine and he bring a box of goodies for my complete spring to do list. I've never recieved a wrong part, gasket, filter etc.... My local marina usually takes a few tries to get it right.
