You might post on boatdiesel for a used elbow. Lots of 3208 archives there to peruse. One guy there that really knows his stuff on your engine is Nautidog. Email him for suggestions. Another smart 3208 guy on TF is Alaska Seaduction. He is in your area. You sound like a pretty smart guy, you'll get there.
Sunchaser, Thanks. Yes I'm confident that there is no breach of the exhaust passage. Peace of mind is bolstered by the new petcock drains. The plan is to run the boat little if at all in this condition until new elbows are in place. If run, that elbow will be the first to get drained.


I'm reluctant to reach out to Tom (ASD)….he'll want me to varnish something on his boat the next time they come to town!

Cheers.
