About this part

Manifold exhaust repair kit referenced to MerCruiser component numbers 70981A3, 32-90949, 27-96429, 27-99777, 27-64692, and 27807982 for Model 120 and 140 inline-four sterndrive applications from 1982 through 1995. Designed for engines using the old-style wet-joint exhaust arrangement.

Supplied contents

  • Manifold exhaust repair kit

Before reassembly

  • Verify that the engine has a two-piece exhaust elbow matching bellow reference 70981A3 rather than a one-piece elbow setup that requires a 4-inch bellow.
  • Check the installed carburetor model before installing the base gasket; reference 27-64692 matches Rochester carburetors rather than MerCarb units.
  • Inspect all wet-joint manifold and exhaust elbow sealing surfaces to ensure they are clean and free of old gasket material or corrosion before fitting the new components.

Questions from the workshop

How do I know if my MerCruiser 120 or 140 uses this old-style wet-joint kit?

Check the exhaust elbow and carburetor on your 1982–1995 153 or 181 CID inline-four engine. This kit includes exhaust bellow reference 70981A3 for a two-piece exhaust elbow (not the one-piece elbow using a 4-inch bellow) and gasket reference 27-64692 for a Rochester carburetor (not a MerCarb unit).

Are the listed OEM numbers for the entire kit or individual components?

The MerCruiser, Mercury Mariner, Sierra, and GLM numbers listed on this page are individual component references for the hoses and gaskets associated with this repair, not single part numbers for a complete OEM kit.
