Hello. The Stevenage branch of the Mad Makara Men has been out this morn. The Crab has loosened up so it's an engine out and strip down the crab to get at the fixing bolts. The joy of boating?? Oh yes the rain did hold off to get a tank full though the engine.

nice one bill glad it stayed dry for you mate, well 2 more in the gang now with tony Big T

sounds good tony i say kingsbury because its central, as my water is trafford water sports centre, at manchester, so when that was suggested simon and a few said how about something more central because of the traveling time, but its a option all in the early stages yet, be it will look well a gaggle of raging makaras on the water at once...mad al

Tony,

The orange boat with the SG 35 - that really is one mad Makara. I remember it at Bristol...

Hello Mad Makara Men.
I have just inspected my exhaulst manifold. Both the O rings are flat on one side and it passes water down the exhaust pipe. I have ordered some new rings. However dose anyone have a better way? / have any old exhausts manifold for my Zen 26 they want to sell ::) The pics are what I'm having trouble with. Cheers for your Help.

Bill

Bill D203 · « **Reply #34 on:** December 10, 2007, 07:50:25 pm »

Heres the manifold pic.

pete_486 · « **Reply #35 on:** December 10, 2007, 08:21:14 pm »

hi Bill that manifold is ok its the one Al runs in his makara, but that pipe will not let you tune the exhaust pipe its to long.
you want a 90% header ask Al he's had one in a cobra, there's far to many bends for the exhaust gases to get round quickly.
oh and welcome Big Tee to the madness that a makara brings out in you

Pete

Bill D203 · « **Reply #36 on:** December 10, 2007, 09:06:37 pm »

hi bill petes right the manifold is fine only use viton rings, the header get rid, and buy tony's, what pipe are you using..mad al :)

Bill D203 · « **Reply #42 on:** December 10, 2007, 10:25:22 pm »

I'm not sure which make of pipe it is . It is very big, S/Steel. It went on sale down here and I got it at a bargin price. Wish I could remember the maker. It seems to keep the noise down very well. Looking forwards to seeing how much deferents a shorter pipe will make.

pete_486 · « **Reply #43 on:** December 10, 2007, 10:52:35 pm »

it should be 22mm to fit the exhaust, mine is so i think it's standard 22mm.
i shortened mine and it really does rev, the 90%, but my motor is a sikk, and i think a zen which i have in another boat would be a bit different but not that much.
what exhaust pipe are you running Bill?

Pete

Well after a few days of mucking about trying to get some of the gelcoat flaws out of the hull, I have finally managed to get some primer and paint on it. Pics here when the paint job is finished..... Still waiting for the engine mounts and a load of other stuff. Bl**dy frustrating. I can order stuff from the states and it's here in 2 days. Order from the UK and it's a week plus. Go figure...!

Cheers

Phil
