I need to find out what size Weiand Blower is on my 2002 575sci...... it is the blower with the "W" on the front cover and has both bearings in an oil bath. I am trying to find out what manifolds were used so I can find a replacement.....mine are showing signs of corrosion....

Are they original from Mercury? If so, what year are your engines? We looked at replacements, as you said, Weiand makes a direct replacement. The concern is they are aluminum and will corrode faster than the cast iron ones did. I called a company in Connecticut, who I use to ceramic coat things. I have had them do a few intake manifolds for me in the past. Mostly, I had the coating put on for asthetics. Anyway, they claimed they have ceramic coated aluminum intake water crossovers, strictly for corrosion protection. They claim the process yields successful results. In case the intakes are deemed unrepairable, we may go for new Weiand aluminums and have them coated.
Anyone ever try this?
