I have two thru hull pickups (scoop type but with no locking screw holes), that were fitted 5 years ago to feed a 4 pot Volvo. About 18 months ago I swapped out completely for a 4.3 V6 Merc and made the thru hull pickups redundant by simply joining the two together with hose and closing both...
I have a set of Hi-Tek stainless exhaust manifolds on a V6 Merc 4.3. Does anyone have reference to a part number for the anodes? Hi-Tek say they are out of a Cummins 6BT marine diesel and can post some to Adelaide for me but it must be easier than that, surely! I would assume many marine dealers...

Hi all,
For openers, just shoot me for ever buying a boat with a Volvo engine.
I've been watching my exhaust manifold for the last 2 seasons and know it really needs replacing. I really don't want to push it another season. I've been searching high and low for a new manifold kit for this thing...
I have a Volvo AQ130 with a 280 drive and having problems getting a simple answer from anywhere. The leg travels up and down ok, but on the travel down, it gets almost to the bottom and then drops suddenly.
