Leeder Tomcat manifolds/risers/gaskets.
Submitted by Righteo on Tue, 2012-01-24 14:44
Hey guys recently have gained access to a Leeder Tomcat 240 and first thing to be done is manifolds/risers/gaskets/dry joints for the the 4.3 mercruiser sitting in it, i have someone to do the work but was wondering if anyone knew the best place to source the parts cheaply? Feel free to pm me if you dont wish to post a non site affiliated shop here.
Cheers

not sure yet have been told they use about 25l an hour at 20/22 knots, for the size of the boat a 5.0 or 5.7 i would have thought. time will tell.

manifolds and risers
Troy or Greg at the Boat business in Henderson.
He is straight up, and it will only cost the price of a call.
.....unlike another business who wanted a deposit BEFORE they would give me a quote.....
In the end it cost the other (more local business) over $20k in lost upgrade and lost ongoing servicing!!!!
hahahaha "you'll have to give me a deposit before I can give you a quote", hahahahahaha
Talk to Troy his number 94102988
