• Trawler Forum Classified Posting Guidelines
    • We expect ads placed to be related to the topic of this forum.
    • Ads that are inactive for 180 days or longer may be moved to the Classified Archive and locked. Ads may be relisted if the item is still current. Alternatively, owners may contact a Moderator to reinstate an archived ad.
    • The Classified section is for advertising, members are asked to refrain from posting discussions to a Classified Ad. Please start a discussion thread or PM the owner for discussions.
    • Do not hijack another member's ad by posting unsolicited commentary. Example: if a member has posted an ad offering an anchor for sale, don't add a post to his thread stating that you have an anchor you'd like to get rid of also. Posts deemed as unsolicited commentary may be removed.
    • For your own security, do NOT include your e-mail or phone number in your ad. Instead request that interested parties contact you via PM (private message) to provide owners contact info.
    • Brokers, Dealers, or those with a commercial interest in a sale are prohibited from posting in Classifieds.
    • Only Trawler Forum Commercial Members may post ads in the Commercial section. You must be a designated Commercial Member to start threads in this section of the forum. (Contact a moderator if you have questions about this)
    • Don't post links to commercial sites where you are also offering the boat, such as eBay, Craigslist or Yachtworld, etc. unless it contains a more in-depth description, additional information or pictures.
    • Place only one ad per item (you may repost only when your ad has expired and been removed).
    For Sale ads MUST include:
    • Asking price
    • Location
    • A Basic Description
    • Clear statement whether you are the owner or non-owner (posting for friend, relative, or acquaintance)
    • Don't forget to select: FOR SALE, WANTED or FREE in the Title block.
    All ads should also include ALL the following:
    • Pertinent maintenance and condition information
    • Exterior picture or pictures
    • Interior picture or pictures (boats)
    For maximum impact & exposure, it is suggested the Ad Title include: Year, Manufacturer, Model, Length, Price, and Location or at the very top of the ad body. When your item has sold or the ad is no longer relevant: Please post a Reply to the ad that the item is SOLD or click "Report Post" on post 1 of the thread to ask a moderator to archive the ad. Ads may be moved or removed by our staff at any time for any reason. All ads must comply with site rules. Thanks for your cooperation.
  • Avoid Scams.

    Our classifieds are free and anyone registered here is welcome to post an ad.
    Be aware that there are unscrupulous folks out there. Avoid any interaction that seems odd to you or �feels� wrong. Inquiries from unknown buyers, buyers �agents� and other non-traditional approaches should be treated with extreme caution.

    Beware of unsolicited contacts offering to put you in touch with someone else who is buying or selling via e-mail or text.

    Do not post your e-mail address or phone number in a classifieds ad.

    Hints that you may be dealing with a Scammer:
    • Seller or Buyer approaches you via a direct email or PM and then steers you to an off-site communication method (text or email).
    • No posts or very few forum posts.
    • Recent forum membership
    • Insists on conducting negotiations via email or text rather than PM
    • Requires payment via Bank Transfer, BitCoin/CryptoCurrency, WesternUnion or other unsecured method.
    • Buyer or Seller suggests Paypal "Friends and Family" payment. Paypal is a good way to arrange payment but an invoice for goods and services should be used rather than "Friends and Family". "Friends and Family" avoids fees BUT there is no recourse if the transaction runs aground. Friends and Family is for gifts only. There is no protection for Friends and Family transactions, so never ever use it to buy something.
    • Declines to allow viewing the item before proceeding with the transaction.

Ford Lehman 120 manifold wanted to buy. Anyone out there have a FL-120 manifold for sale? Or know where I can purchase one in good condition? I am located in Florida, near Fort Myers, but any location would work with shipping. Helping a neighbor getting his boat running. Price would be negotiable depending on condition/location, etc. Thanks
 
Now curious, what is the reason a replacement is needed. They are fresh water cooled. Only the riser that introduces raw water seemed to be an issue when I had the twin Lehman's.

They usually rot out at the bottom of the flange where the mixing elbow connects to the manifold.

Have you tried Harbor Marine in Everett, WA?

Have you tried American Diesel?
 
We've tried American Diesel. No luck. Bomar has one that is "usable, but really ugly, will probably last 3 to 5 years" is what he said.
The head he took off is damaged as stated above, and has been hela-coiled (badly).
He can't find anyone in the area who is willing to try welding it . . . . he can't even find anyone who can/will surface it! Seems all the new guys want to do is order new parts, the ones the computer tells them that are bad. Hard to find actual mechanics any more, let alone competent machinists. . . .
 
Bomar cleaned up the one they had, and decided it wasn't serviceable after all, but they found another one that, although marginal, should be okay for awhile . . . .
American Diesel said they have an order in to have at least 100 brand new ones made from scratch, but they are at least 1 year out. No idea of cost, or if they are all spoken for yet, but if you need one, or think you MAY need one, you might want to get on the list!
I've heard that good, serviceable manifolds will go for around $3,500 and up, plus shipping . . . . .
Here's hoping the one he has coming from Bomar is indeed serviceable . . . .
