I found these in a quick search, but they are not giving them away!!
I remember back in 98 when I bought my 165 manifold and it was $700 then, thats why I went outboard

Good luck

Thanks macojoe...

The one I need is the item for $810.50 that is listed as "No Longer Sold". The other one for the MCM 470 is no good for me.

I'll ask the question again....can I go to a machine shop and get these repaired? If not, why?

Cause it is cast iron, it doesn't take to welding all that well, and how thin is the rest of it? I would hate to fix it and have it break again in short order!!
Just my 2 cents

Sounds like you either have a leak in your manifold or the riser/resevior . You can buy the riser from Mercury Parts Express but you may have to buy a used manifold. If you look up into the exhaust (round ) end of the riser you may see globs of rust and scaley rust. Take a screwdriver and pick around ta see if you can pick a hole into the water jacket. If your manifold is aluminum the riser/ resevior will be cast iron. Some are the other way around. Theres a place nearby called Budget Boats in Va. that has tons of good used parts for these motors. It sounds like your riser blew through. If the riser is bad buy a NEW one, not used!
