    It would help if you tell us what year and what engines you have in this thing…. If you have a cracked manifold, well you need to replace it!

    With serial numbers, go to a Crusader shop and order one.
    You are probably not going to find one at NAPA.

    Thank you for the tip the hose is destroyed the previous owner tried to use glue and a bunch of tape on it but I'm hoping I can find it on the other engine. Also does anyone know if the boat has rudders or an outdrive system ? I'm sorry for the stupid questions but you guys seem to know everything about these boats , I had a bayliner 3888 and I made a lot of mistakes with that one so I'm really trying to learn with this one. Thank you

    Unlike the other gas marinizers, Crusader never pushed their own Z drive.

    If the engine is mid ship and has a down (towards the stern) it is a direct drive inboard.
