Since we are off topic, if your Sea Ray has either a 5.0 or the 350 MAG, there were certain years known to have problems with the exhaust manifolds. My Crownline with a 350 MAG was plagued with the issue - would blow through a gasket every 100 hours.
I was told that the Sierra replacement was of a higher quality (hard to believe). I sold that boat, new boat does not have the same issue.
It's a 1987 OMC 4.3 Cobra! The exhaust manifolds are NLA (no longer avaliable), thus the high cost of replacement as I had to buy a whole adapter kit to the new style manifolds.
Fun stuff owning a 30+ year old boat with an obsolete drive. :B
