Where are you located?
   
  I have an extra that I ordered from Torrenson that I was going to return.
You will just need the gasket that goes between the manifold and the block,
as well as some new fiberglass wrap and heavy duty Al foil, most likely.  I
ended up cleaning my existing one and it is like new (I had a custom elbow -
not the stock Yanmar elbow).

  I am in Boston - I have the Yanmar stock manifold, elbow, connector, and
an extra connector, as well that you probably don't need - they sent me two
by mistake).  I am willing to sell them to you for cheaper than retail in
order to avoid the hassel of a return.

  I found the source Yesterday and it was the exhaust elbow. Chocked full of
black carbon. The elbow looked like hard metal but here it joined the
manifold it felt like pudding. I did replace the hose leading from it to the
muffler as we wrecked it getting it off the elbow but for $15 at WM worth it
for a new one. Question, where is the cheapest place to get a new elbow for
the Yanmar 3GM30F? We have a local Marina that is a Yanmar dealer but they
are probably expensive. It was not stainless and had no heatshield wrapping
so I think it's a Yanmar part. Any ideas on where I can get a good price?

Thanks Larry. If the shaft is not centered in the log, is there anything
that I can do about this? It seems to me that the two bearings on the shaft
are not adjustable without some serious fiberglass work. Slotting the engine
mounts a little more is probably worth a try as I probably only need a
little more room at the front of the engine. Thanks again Chuck Northwind
#676 -----Original Message----- Chuck, I haven't experienced the problem you
are having but have done enough alignments to know exactly what you are
talking about. Be sure to check that the shaft is centered in the stern tube
(shaft log). With the coupling disconnected and separated about 1/4 -1/2
inch you can move the shaft athwartships until it hits the sides of the log
and tell if it is centered. It may be that you are trying to align the
engine to a shaft that is not positioned correctly. If this is not the
problem another option would be to extend the slots on the slotted plate if
there is room rather  than try to move the hole over a little in the engine
beds. Larry WindSwept C320 #246 -----Original Message----- From:

spent several hours yesterday aligning my engine and shaft, but found that I
could not move the front of the engine far enough to port to get proper
alignment. The slots in the front motor mounts are bottomed out and there is
still a lot of horizontal misalignment. And I can't move the rear motor
mounts to starboard and still get the shaft to align. Has anyone else
experienced this? It seems like the shaft is angled to port. If I drill new
holes for the motor mounts, is there a backer underneath the fiberglass that
I can tap into? Thanks for any suggestions Chuck Mueller Northwind #676
