Troubleshooting & FAQ
Q: How do I confirm this exhaust tube fits my MerCruiser engine?
A: The best way to confirm fitment is by matching your original part number to our cross-reference list (Mercury 32-807458T, Sierra 18-2770, Mallory 9-72804). You can also match your engine model and serial number range against our compatibility table.
Q: What are the signs of a failing exhaust tube?
A: Common signs include water leaking into the bilge, an overheating engine, an unusually loud exhaust sound, or visible cracks and corrosion on the tube itself. Failure can lead to serious water damage to the engine.
Q: How often should I inspect or replace the exhaust tube?
A: Inspection should be part of your annual service, especially for boats used in saltwater. Replacement frequency depends on usage and water conditions, but it is a critical component for preventing water ingestion into the engine.
