Product Specifications and Features
MAR246 is an aftermarket cast-iron marine exhaust manifold for MerCruiser GM small-block V8 engines using the older wet-joint, center-rise, two-piece manifold and elbow exhaust system. It is a single manifold that fits either the port or starboard side and is commonly used on MerCruiser 5.0L, 5.7L and 6.2L / 377 cid applications from the 1983-2002 manifold family.
This manifold cross-references directly to the MerCruiser 860246A15 / 87114A19 family and is also commonly listed against earlier superseded numbers in the same casting pattern. It is designed for the center-rise wet-joint exhaust layout, not the later dry-joint setup. That distinction matters, especially on late 2001-2002 engines where serial-number verification is strongly recommended before ordering.
The supplied kit shown includes the manifold plus gasket and hardware items, including the manifold-to-head gasket, riser/elbow gasket, mounting bolts, and plug / drain hardware as pictured. If you are replacing both banks, order 2x quantity.

Important Fitment Notes
| Check before ordering | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Wet-joint vs dry-joint exhaust | This manifold is for the older wet-joint family and will not replace later dry-joint systems |
| Port or starboard side | Same manifold casting fits either side |
| Single vs pair replacement | This listing is for one manifold; most V8 engines use two |
| Riser / spacer configuration | This manifold family is used with different wet-joint riser and spacer combinations |
| Late 2001-2002 engines | Serial-number verification is recommended because changeover years can be mixed |
