Gotcha. My final question, do I have to take this out of the water or can I just pull it up on the beach and take care of this? I would imagine it shouldn't take too long, a couple hours at the most?

I planned on taking the pipe off because I'm going to replace the gasket, should that give me enough room?

Anyone have any input?

So I ordered the rubber bushings and the have arrived. What is my best way to replace these? Do I have to take the manifold off or can I replace them with it all together? What is the easiest way to go about doing this? I have the shop manual but I don't see how to replace these anywhere.

Bump. Just trying to find out what bushing(s) I'm looking for so I can get them ordered!

Okay, do you have a part number for those? Or suggest somewhere I can order them?
