Manufacturer
<p>Founded in 1933 by Horatio W. Barraclough, Sr., Barr Marine stands as the last and only U.S. manufacturer of inboard marine engine parts in the world. For over nine decades, this American manufacturer has built an unmatched reputation for producing high-quality replacement components that withstand the punishing marine environment. What began as a marine salvage operation has evolved into a pioneering force in the marine aftermarket industry, serving boat owners, marine mechanics, and OEMs worldwide.</p><h3>Engineering Excellence for Marine Engines</h3><p>Barr Marine has been a leading producer of Marine Exhaust Manifolds & Risers for OEM manufacturers such as MerCruiser, Volvo Penta, Crusader, PCM, Indmar and various others since 1933. The company's <a href="/7248-barr-marine-barr-manifoldsriserselbows-200133">manifolds, risers, and elbows</a> are manufactured using premium cast iron and aluminum materials through proven sand casting processes. Its parts are crafted using the highest quality class 30 gray iron and advanced casting technology, ensuring dimensional accuracy and exceptional durability.</p><p>One of Barr Marine's distinguishing features is their attention to detail. Barr Marine parts are the only aftermarket marine replacement parts that are painted to match the color of the original manufacturer. Every casting undergoes pressure testing and is treated with an impregnant solution that adheres to internal walls, extending product life and preventing leakage—a critical consideration for marine applications where corrosion and water intrusion are constant threats.</p><h3>Comprehensive Marine Component Solutions</h3><p>Beyond their flagship exhaust systems, Barr Marine offers an extensive catalog of hard-to-find inboard engine components. Their <a href="/7248-barr-marine-motor-mounts-200701">motor mounts</a> provide reliable vibration isolation for marine engines, while their <a href="/7248-barr-marine-engine-intake-manifold-5536">engine intake manifolds</a> ensure proper air distribution for optimal combustion. The company also produces <a href="/7248-barr-marine-exhaust-manifold-5860">exhaust manifolds</a> and specialized components like <a href="/7248-barr-marine-multi-purpose-relay-3608">multi-purpose relays</a> that meet the unique electrical demands of marine environments.</p><p>Barr Marine offers the largest selection of inboard parts available for immediate shipment, with configurations for engines manufactured over the past six decades. The company backs their exhaust manifolds, risers and exhaust connectors with a Superior Quality and a 3 Year Limited Warranty, demonstrating confidence in their manufacturing processes. All manifolds and risers include mounting gaskets and hardware, while castings feature thicker interior walls and arrive foam-packed for protection.</p><h3>The American Manufacturing Advantage</h3><p>The foundation of Barr Marine's growth began in 1933 with their customer-centered philosophy of knowing the products and providing prompt answers with diagrams and dimensions for technical support. This commitment to service extends to same-day shipment on orders placed by 3:00 PM EST and toll-free technical support. As the sole remaining American manufacturer in this specialized segment, Barr Marine maintains quality control standards that have made them a trusted supplier to original equipment manufacturers and aftermarket distributors alike.</p><p>Whether you're rebuilding a vintage Chris-Craft or maintaining a modern performance boat, Barr Marine's combination of engineering expertise, domestic manufacturing, and comprehensive product availability makes them an essential resource for keeping inboard marine engines running reliably season after season.</p>

Not sure if they overlooked my order but I didn't get my shipping info (3 days after ordered) until I emailed asking for status update. I received a response the following day and all my items ordered came 2 days later...much faster than I had anticipated considering the "delay" or lack thereof (5 days total). Long story short...items are as described, best prices (from what I can researched online for same items/brand) and resonable shipping prices. the selection and brand(s) offered were somewhat limited for my specific needs, otherwise I would've ordered more.
